During a meeting of the UN Security Council on February 24, the Chinese representative made an outrageous statement. He called on Ukraine and Russia to resume negotiations without preconditions.
This statement was made during a meeting of the UN Security Council on the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
On the one hand, the representative China said that all countries should respect each other's territorial integrity. On the other hand, Ukraine's call to negotiate with Russia without any conditions.
China presented a “peace plan”
Earlier, the Chinese Foreign Ministry presented a “peace plan” to resolve Russia's war against Ukraine The plan, in particular, notes respect for the sovereignty of “all countries”, and also contains a paragraph criticizing sanctions against Russia.
China's “peace plan” was greeted with coolness Ukraine and its partners, but expectations were also voiced that China should actively use its influence on Moscow to stop the war and withdraw its troops from the occupied Ukrainian territories. Kiev also told Beijing that, claiming to be neutral, it really only talks with Russia and does not engage in dialogue with Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed skepticism about China's plan to end the war in Ukraine, arguing that Beijing “does not deserve much confidence.”
During his press conference, Zelensky assessed China's “peace plan”. He noted that he partly agrees with him. Like, in the “peace plan” there are points with which you can work.
