The Kremlin on Monday acknowledged Chinas proposition for a political option in Ukraine however said the conditions for a serene resolution of the dispute were not in place at the moment.

We paid a great deal of attention to our Chinese good friends strategy, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Monday, including that: for now, we do not see any of the conditions that are needed to bring this whole story towards peace.

China has sought to position itself as a neutral party in the dispute while preserving close ties with strategic ally Russia.Beijing recently called for peace talks as it released a 12-point paper to end the war in Ukraine, which included respect of all countries territorial sovereignty.

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday thanked Chinese efforts but stated that any settlement of the conflict needed to acknowledge Russias control over 4 Ukrainian regions.

Russia claims to have actually annexed the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson however never totally controlled them.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated his nation needed to deal with China, arguing it seems to me that there is regard for our territorial stability, security issues from the Chinese perspective.Zelensky also stated he was convinced that only a nation whose territory is under attack can initiate any peace initiatives.

The publication of the proposal follows accusations from the West that China is thinking about arming Russia, a claim Beijing has actually dismissed as false.
