China Has Called For Peace Talks To End Ukrainian Crisis

China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang has called for the immediate resumption of peace negotiations on the Ukraine conflict, blaming a “invisible hand” for the protracted and escalating conflict.
Qin stated that the peace process should begin as quickly as possible, and that all parties’ legitimate security concerns should be recognised.

He portrayed the battle in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, as “an explosion of the difficulties built up in Europe’s security governance.”
Peace discussions, according to the foreign minister, have been persistently thwarted.

“There seems to be an invisible hand, pushing for the protraction and escalation of the conflict and using the Ukraine crisis to serve a certain geopolitical agenda.

“The crisis in Ukraine has come to a critical juncture. Either hostilities stop and peace is restored, and the process of political settlement begins, or more fuel is added to the flames and the crisis further expands and spirals out of control,” he said.
China recently presented a so-called position paper about its stance on the war, but the paper was largely met with disappointment and scepticism.

Experts said the paper did not propose any new initiatives for a peace settlement.

Qin disclosed China did not provide weapons to Russia amid the conflict, adding that Beijing did not create nor was party to the crisis.

“Why on earth blame sanctions and threats against China?

“This is absolutely unacceptable,” he said responding to information cited by Washington last month suggesting that Beijing could provide “lethal support” to Moscow – a claim Beijing had already rejected – and warnings from the U.S. and Europe to China not to send weapons to Russia.
