Chinese authorities have advocated Monday for the de-escalation of violence in Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion of the territory and stressed the importance of “respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries.”

He thus referred to the “legitimate” security concerns presented by all countries, which “must be taken seriously.” “Measures must be taken that lead to the peaceful resolution of crises,” he said.

“We hope all sides can properly resolve their differences through dialogue and consultation. China is also willing to play a constructive role in pushing for restraint,” he has asserted.

Beijing maintains strong bilateral relations with Moscow and has tried to avoid directly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine since the war began in late February.
