If China wants to, it can force Russia to stop this war. I would like them not to take up a mediation mission. I would like them to put pressure on Russia to end the war. Just like the US is putting pressure, just like the EU is putting pressure. And the stronger the state is, the more pressure should be put on Russia. Not vice versa. I think there will be a quick result then." There is no need to take a mediating position in a war when there is an aggressor
He noted that he would like China to have a strong position on the war, so that they could stop the Russians.
We don't need anything extra. We don't need any additional support. This should be based on international law. I would very much like to see China take this very principled position
Recall
Ukraine invited China to participate in at least interim meetings on the points of the Ukrainian peace formula. The Chinese side took this proposal seriously.
