China states its position on war in Ukraine

This was reported on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has published a 12-point document on the war in Ukraine. In particular, the text calls for respect for the sovereignty of all countries, a ceasefire, negotiations, a solution to the humanitarian crisis, and the protection of civilians and prisoners of war.

China believes that it is necessary to maintain the safety of nuclear power plants, the economy, guarantee grain exports, and promote post-war reconstruction.

In an official statement, China did not support Ukraine, but called for an end to "unilateral sanctions." The document calls the war a "crisis."

"Unilateral sanctions and extreme pressure not only fail to solve problems, but create new ones. Countries should stop abusing unilateral sanctions and 'long arm jurisdiction' against other countries and play a role in cooling the crisis in Ukraine," China's official statement said.

The Chinese are also convinced that it is necessary to "abandon the Cold War mentality and protect peace on the Eurasian continent."

The full list of the so-called peace plan includes:

• Respect for the sovereignty of all countries

• Rejection of the "Cold War mentality"

• Cessation of hostilities

• Resumption of peace negotiations

• Resolving the humanitarian crisis

• Protection of civilians and prisoners of war

• Ensuring the safety of nuclear power plants

• Reducing strategic risks

• Promoting grain exports

• Ending "unilateral sanctions"

• Supporting the stability of industrial and supply chains

• Promoting post-war reconstruction.

• On February 22, Putin met with China's top diplomat and shared expectations of Xi Jinping's visit.

• On February 23, the WSJ reported that China may provide Russia with lethal assistance in the war in Ukraine.
