China has thrown its weight behind renewed efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis through diplomacy. In a UN Security Council briefing on Monday, Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the UN, praised the U.S.-Russia agreement to start peace negotiations, calling it a “positive step toward stability.”
“China welcomes all peace-driven initiatives,” Fu said, emphasizing Beijing’s commitment to resolving conflicts through dialogue. “The UN Charter’s principles of peaceful resolution aren’t optional—they’re the global playbook for preventing escalation.”
The move highlights China’s growing role as a diplomatic bridge in tense geopolitical standoffs. Fu added that Beijing supports “equal and pragmatic” discussions among all parties, urging world powers to prioritize “win-win outcomes over zero-sum games.”
While details of the U.S.-Russia talks remain under wraps, the announcement signals a rare moment of cooperation amid ongoing tensions. Analysts say China’s endorsement could add momentum to negotiations, though challenges lie ahead.
