China's support for Ukraine peace negotiations efforts has underscored a growing trend of international cooperation in addressing the ongoing crisis. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed hope that China will use its influence to push for a ceasefire, bringing an end to the conflict.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has publicly endorsed peace talks in Ukraine, emphasizing the need for a fair, lasting, and binding agreement through direct dialogue. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning has also expressed hope for a fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement through dialogue and negotiations.
China's support for direct dialogue between Russia and Ukraine is significant, particularly in light of China's own efforts to promote a peaceful resolution to the crisis. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that China would support all efforts conducive to peace in the crisis, without explicitly confirming participation in Russia-Ukraine negotiations.
