Chinese President Xi Jinping told russian president vladimir putin during a telephone conversation that all parties should work to resolve the "crisis" in Ukraine "responsibly."
It was reported by the Chinese state television company CCTV.
It is noted that Xi Jinping confirmed in the conversation China's readiness to help resolve the situation.
At the same time, Xi Jinping stated that since the beginning of this year, despite the "global shocks and changes," Sino-russian relations have maintained good dynamics, and economic and trade cooperation between the countries was developing steadily.
Earlier, China refused to condemn Russia's actions or call them an invasion and called for a negotiated settlement.
It is reported that China was ready, together with Russia, to continue to support each other in issues related to the main interests and problems of countries, such as sovereignty and security. They are willing to strengthen strategic coordination and ties between the two countries, along with the coordination in major international and regional organizations, such as the UN.
putin told Xi Jinping that Russia opposed any interfering in China's internal affairs and mentioned the conflicts in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
It is also worth mentioning that since the beginning of russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, China has evolved from sitting on the fence to the outright defensive. When the war began in late February, Beijing tried to be "impartial." But in the last few weeks, it deployed the language that directly confronted the US-led NATO and Western sanctions, calling them "financial terrorism" and "economic weaponization," The Guardian reports.
