Politico: China’s Xi asks Putin to negotiate with Ukraine
‘China’s position would be based on the right and wrong in relation to the Ukraine issue itself,’ Chinese president says.
In a major diplomatic intervention, Chinese President Xi Jinping has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate with Ukraine — with Beijing offering no clear endorsement of the ongoing war.
“The situation in eastern Ukraine has undergone rapid changes, drawing great attention from the international community.
China’s position would be based on the right and wrong in relation to the Ukraine issue itself,” Xi told Putin on Friday, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported.
In further remarks that probably won’t go down well in the Kremlin, Xi said: “China supports Russia and Ukraine in resolving the issue through negotiation.”
