China supports proposed talks between Moscow and Kiev — ApsnyNews World News

China has expressed support for proposed direct talks between Moscow and Kiev, saying it welcomes all efforts aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict with a lasting peace settlement.

On early Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin called on the Ukrainian government to resume the negotiations it withdrew from in 2022 to instead pursue a military victory. He said a meeting could be organized as soon as next Thursday if Türkiye agrees to host the talks. Ankara has since agreed.

The Chinese government supports “all efforts dedicated to peace” and hopes that Russia and Ukraine find a path towards “a fair, lasting, binding peace agreement acceptable to all parties through dialogue and negotiation,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing on Monday.
