China has called on other countries to stop supplying arms to Ukraine
China's envoy to Ukraine, Li Hui, today called on other countries to stop sending weapons to the battlefield and contribute to peace talks, but did not indicate whether any progress had been made during his recent visit to Europe that would lead to a solution. about the conflict.
"China believes it is important to stop sending weapons to the battlefield if we really want to end the war, save lives and achieve peace. "Otherwise, tensions will only grow," Lee said.
Lee made the call as Washington and its European allies ramp up shipments of missiles, tanks and other weapons to Ukrainian forces trying to retake parts of territory occupied by the Russian military.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping's government says it is neutral in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and wants to mediate, but politically supports Moscow.
From May 15 to 28, Li visited Ukraine, Russia, Poland, France, Germany and the headquarters of the European Union.
Analysts say it is unlikely that the Chinese initiative will bear fruit
