BEIJING, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) — China opposes unilateral sanctions that violate international law and have not been authorized by the UN Security Council, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday.

Lin Jian made these statements at a regular press conference, commenting at the media's request on the European Commission's recent proposal to use frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine.

All parties should contribute to the creation of a positive atmosphere and favorable conditions for advancing peace talks and facilitating a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, and not the other way around, the Chinese diplomat concluded. -0-
