Details
We condemn the baseless and irresponsible defamation of China by a British politician. We have drawn attention to the fact that these remarks by the UK were not even supported by its "close ally" (referring to the United States - ed.)
The Chinese diplomat emphasized that the "crisis in Ukraine" (as the war in Ukraine is called in China - ed.) "has been dragged on" because of the actions of the UK and its allies, which allegedly prevented Kyiv and Moscow from reaching peace.
There are reports that two years ago, Ukraine and Russia were close to reaching an agreement to end the conflict. However, due to obstacles from the UK and other countries, the conflict continues to this day

China also emphasized that the accusations against China "will not change London's ineffective position on Ukraine." Beijing assures that it will continue to adhere to the position of dialogue to resolve the situation in Ukraine.
On the Ukrainian issue, China has always stood by peace and dialogue and will continue to make efforts to resume negotiations and oppose adding fuel to the fire. At the same time, we will resolutely defend our legitimate rights and interests
