Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated this during a briefing. 

"We are pleased to see that all parties are playing a constructive role and creating conditions for de-escalation and political resolution of the Ukrainian crisis (the war of Russia against Ukraine - ed.)," she said. 

At the same time, China continues to maintain the view that the only way to resolve the war is through dialogue and negotiations. 

"China will continue to promote peace talks and is ready to maintain contact on this issue with other parties," assured the spokesperson, without mentioning the United States.
