"We have no selfish agenda on the Ukraine issue. We did not stand by, nor did we add fuel to the fire, or exploit the situation for selfish gain. All that we have done boils down to supporting talks for peace," Wang continued.for providing weapons to defending Ukrainian forces and for"causing the crisis to escalate."
