China reiterated its call for a political resolution to the Ukraine crisis during a United Nations (U.N.) Security Council meeting on the situation in Ukraine on Monday, urging restraint and a return to peace talks.
Speaking at the meeting, Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said that military means cannot bring peace and that prolonging conflict will only cause more serious harm.
Sun emphasized that China has always maintained an objective and just position on the Ukraine crisis, and will continue to work with the international community to play a positive role in achieving a political solution to the crisis.
Sun outlined four expectations from China in light of the current situation:
First, China expects the parties concerned to put their people first, exercise maximum restraint and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.
Second, China hopes that all relevant parties will resume the peace talks process as soon as possible and work toward a comprehensive, lasting and binding peace agreement.
Third, China expects regional countries and the international community to send more rational voices calling for a ceasefire and the promotion of peace talks.
Fourth, China urges all parties to work, in full and strict compliance with the principles of the U.N. Charter, to address the root causes of the crisis and build a balanced, effective, and sustainable regional security architecture.
