On Friday, China’s Foreign Ministry announced a 12-point proposal that called for a resumption of peace talks and an end to all unilateral sanctions against Russia. It also stressed that territorial independence should be maintained but remained vague, that meant for Russia or Ukraine.
I … believe this will be beneficial for our countries and for security in the World.”
Zelensky said.
Since a year, when the war began, China has argued for neutrality despite stating that Russia had been provoked into invading Ukraine due to NATO’s increase eastward.
We would “work with China” but only if “there are ideas that correspond to international law or territorial integrity, and some security considerations. But it’s something.”
Zelensky said.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the Kremlin had welcomed China’s plan for peace, stating that it was open to achieving the goals of its “special military operation” through diplomatic means.
We share the views of Beijing. This would mean recognizing “new territorial realities” for Ukraine.”

During the broadcast, Zelensky vowed that Ukraine would be “victorious.”
