"We communicate quite frankly about prisoners of war from China, and about other cases with the Chinese side," the spokesperson noted.

"As for China, we believe that between countries that have an established dialogue, such as Ukraine and China, all problematic issues should be resolved only through dialogue and open communication between the parties. We were and remain open to this dialogue with the Chinese side. Our proposals for contacts between the ministers of foreign affairs and the leaders of our states have been under consideration by the Chinese side for quite some time," Tykhyi added.

Also, according to him, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the organization of these contacts as soon as possible will help to more clearly understand the positions of the parties and resolve topical issues on the agenda of bilateral relations.

"And delaying or avoiding such contacts may lead to a crisis of confidence. And this is extremely undesirable. We do not want this and it would not correspond to the spirit of constructive interaction that traditionally characterizes Ukrainian-Chinese relations," the spokesperson explained.
