China has thrown its weight behind global efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis, including upcoming U.S.-Russia peace negotiations, as tensions enter a critical phase. 🇺🇳 Chinese UN Ambassador Fu Cong emphasized \"dialogue over destruction\" during a Security Council briefing, spotlighting Beijing’s push for diplomacy amid the ongoing conflict.
🔍 Key Takeaways:
China praised the 2015 Minsk Agreements as a missed opportunity for peace, noting their failure led to today’s escalation
Reiterated Beijing’s four-point peace proposal: respect sovereignty, uphold UN principles, address security concerns, and support peaceful solutions
Teamed up with Brazil to launch the Group of Friends for Peace, amplifying Global South voices in negotiations
⚖️ Fu stressed that \"history will deliver a just outcome\" but warned Europe—where the conflict rages—must \"work for peace\" through inclusive talks. With negotiations looming, China’s role as a mediator could prove pivotal in bridging divides.
🌐 Analysts say Beijing’s stance mirrors growing calls for multipolar diplomacy. As Fu put it: \"The ultimate resolution lies at the negotiation table.\" Will world leaders seize this moment? 🤝
