China for first time votes for UN resolution, calling Russia an aggressor

China previously abstained or voted against resolutions regarding Russian aggression.

Now the country backs the UN vote, stating "unprecedented challenges facing Europe today following the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine."

UN's Permanent representative for Ukraine Serhii Kyslytsia said 122 countries supported the resolution on cooperation between the UN and the Council of Europe.

In addition to China, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Armenia, and India also adopted the document.

North Korea, Syria, Nicaragua, Belarus and Russia spoke against it.

18 countries abstained from voting.

The resolution contains a clause that talks about "unprecedented challenges facing Europe today after the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and before that against Georgia."

There is also a call to "compensate the damages caused to the victims and bring to justice all those who are guilty of violating the norms of international law."

What happened before?

On April 26, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke to Zelensky by phone for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war. The conversation was initiated by the Ukrainian side.

It was preceded by repeated calls from Ukraine for a personal conversation between the heads of state.
There was a scandal with the Chinese mediator of the "conflict." He questioned the sovereignty of the countries of the former USSR and Crimea, belonging to Ukraine.

In the conversation, Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine must restore sovereignty and territorial integrity within the internationally recognized borders of 1991, including the currently occupied Crimea.

After talks with the Chinese leader, Zelenskyy appointed a new ambassador of Ukraine to the People's Republic of China. The former minister for strategic industries Pavlo Riabikin was appointed.

China has appointed a new representative in Ukraine and "adjacent states." It was Li Huei, the special representative of the Chinese government on Eurasian issues and the country's former ambassador to Russia.
