UPDATE 1-Kyiv says China should press Russia to end war in Ukraine
KYIV, March 20 — Kyiv expects China to use its influence on Russia to end the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko said today.
“Ukraine is following the Chinese President’s visit to Russia closely,” Nikolenko said in a statement to Reuters shortly after Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We expect Beijing to use its influence on Moscow to make it put an end to the aggressive war against Ukraine.”
Xi was expected to press Beijing’s role as a potential peacemaker in the conflict following the release of a 12-point plan. Kyiv says any peace moves must involve a full withdrawal of Russian troops and respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. “We stand ready to engage in a closer dialogue with China in order to restore peace in Ukraine in accordance with the principles enshrined in the UN Charter, and the latest UNGA resolution on this matter,” Nikolenko said. — Reuters
