BEIJING (Sputnik) - China will continue to contribute to the political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Friday.
On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Sputnik and the Rossiya 24 broadcaster that 10 day ago a secret meeting took place under the "peace plan" proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with the participation of western countries, as well as some states of the Global South.
"China's position on the Ukrainian crisis is consistent and very clear. We have always been committed to playing a constructive role in the ceasefire and political settlement of the crisis. We will also continue to stimulate negotiations in our own ways in order to facilitate an early political settlement of the crisis," the spokeswoman said, answering a question about whether the Chinese side participated in the meeting.
Volodymyr Zelensky unveiled his 10-point "peace formula" in late November 2022. The draft suggests that Moscow should hand over Russian regions, including Crimea and territories that reunited with Russia in 2022 after popular referendums. Another issue in energy security guarantees, as well as the exchange of captured military personnel.
