Ukraine Inks Infrastructure Deal with China After Biden Snubs Zelensky for Putin

This looks like another huge foreign policy blunder by the demented and senile 46th President!

"... Ukraine has been a partner in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a global infrastructure debt trap program, since at least 2018, when China established a BRI “promotion center” in the country. ...
The Zelensky administration’s abrupt shift in attitude towards Chinese investment follows the president’s condemnation of American counterpart Joe Biden last month for failing to impose sanctions on Russia’s Nordstream 2 fuel pipeline. ...

Shortly after meeting Putin, Washington, DC, publications began to report that Biden had chosen to freeze lethal aid to Ukraine, pivotal in the eastern Donbass war against Russian allied militias. ..."
