Putin supports China's peace plan on Ukraine crisis, appreciates Beijing's understanding

“We are positive in our assessment of China's approach to resolving the Ukrainian crisis,” Putin said, according to a Russian-language transcript on the Kremlin website. “In Beijing, they really understand the root causes of this and its global geopolitical meaning.”

And additional principles, set out by Xi in talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, were “realistic and constructive steps” that “develop the idea of ​​the need to overcome the Cold War mentality”.

Beijing introduced a 12-point paper more than a year ago that set out general principles for ending the war but did not discuss specifics.

It received a lukewarm reception in both Russia and Ukraine at the time, while the US said China was presenting itself as a peacemaker but reflecting Russia's “false narrative” and failing to condemn its aggression. .
