Last week, a 12-point statement containing a position on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis was published on the website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Among the main points are the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, the resumption of direct dialogue between Moscow and Kiev, the call to prevent further escalation. China also opposed the abuse of unilateral sanctions in the context of the Ukrainian conflict, as they do not help resolve the crisis.
