UNITED NATIONS, July 26 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang on Friday called for continued efforts to promote a political settlement to the crisis in Ukraine.
Russia and Ukraine have recently continued to implement the consensus reached during previous rounds of talks and facilitated the exchange of prisoners of war and remains of fallen soldiers. A few days ago, they also held a third round of direct talks, during which new consensus was reached on continuing the exchange of prisoners of war and other humanitarian issues, he said.
"China welcomes these positive developments and calls on relevant parties to maintain the momentum of peace talks, continue to seek consensus and enhance mutual trust with a view to achieving a comprehensive, lasting and durable peace agreement," Geng Shuang told the Security Council.
However, in the past few days, Russia and Ukraine have continued to exchange large-scale drone and missile strikes, causing numerous casualties, infrastructure damage and destruction. China is deeply concerned and saddened by this, he said.
China once again calls on the parties to the conflict to exercise maximum restraint, effectively abide by international humanitarian law, and refrain from targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure under any circumstances. It is imperative that both sides make joint efforts to achieve early de-escalation on the battlefield, Geng Shuang added. –0–
