China suggests it will be 'playing a role' in finding ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine
China has suggested itself ready to take part in working toward a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, having on Tuesday denounced the crisis in "its strongest comments yet," the Financial Times reports.
In a statement following a phone call between Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi and Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba, China said it is "extremely concerned about the harm to civilians" in the ongoing conflict.
"Ukraine is willing to strengthen communications with China and looks forward to China playing a role in realizing a ceasefire," read the statement from Beijing, which also vaguely noted its respect for "the territorial integrity of all countries."
Wang also reportedly thanked Ukraine for helping evacuate Chinese citizens from the country.
