War in Ukraine, China and the plan to reach peace that annoys Russia –

China is weaving a mediation that promises to be long to reach a solution in Ukraine. Beijing will continue to take steps to politically resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said: “China will continue to play a constructive role in reaching a ceasefire and resuming negotiations.” Beijing assumes that any dispute must be resolved by political means. “Both Ukraine and Russia have sent messages of their willingness to negotiate at various levels,” Wang stressed, before continuing: “Although the conditions and time are not yet ripe, we support all efforts that contribute to peace and are willing to continue to play a constructive role in reaching a ceasefire and resuming peace talks.”

Wang made his remarks after meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleba. The Kiev minister said that Ukraine also “wants to follow the path of peace, recovery and development.” “I am convinced that these are the strategic priorities that we share,” he said, adding that “Russian aggression has destroyed peace and slowed development.” Kuleba is the first senior Ukrainian official to visit China since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

From Moscow, a brake is coming, entrusted to the spokeswoman of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov: Moscow does not trust what Ukrainian President Zelensky said in recent days: “Nobody trusts him,” said Maria Zakharova in the briefing with the press. Zelensky had opened up to the possibility of a peace summit with the participation of Moscow, but according to the Kremlin his statements could be linked to the developments of the election campaign in the United States or be “another attempt to promote his peace formula,” she said. “There is nothing new in the attempt of the Kiev regime and its Western patrons to make up for the failure of the so-called peace summit. We are aware that these attempts will continue,” she added. Ukraine has not taken any concrete steps, including those to repeal the legislation that prohibits Kiev from holding negotiations with Russia, and such statements are just words, the accusation from Moscow.
