Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is visiting China to discuss the possibility of ending the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The talks will focus on finding ways to stop the Russian aggression and the potential role of China in achieving a sustainable and just peace.
China, a close political and economic partner of Russia, portrays itself as a neutral party in the Ukraine war. However, Western allies of Ukraine accuse China of not condemning the Russian aggression and continuing to supply Russia with goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.
Chinese President Xi Jinping recently called for direct peace negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow and for the international community to support a ceasefire. This visit follows China's release of a Twelve-Point Plan in February 2023 to end the Ukraine war, which was criticized by Western states for allowing Russia to retain control over occupied Ukrainian territory.
Minister Kuleba's visit to China is expected to last until Thursday.
