China has called for all parties to “remain calm and exercise restraint” in the Ukraine war, after Russia used a new type of ballistic missile and Ukraine fired longer-range Western missiles into Russian territory.
China’s foreign ministry spokesman said they should “work to de-escalate the situation through dialogue and consultations” to help create the right conditions for a ceasefire.
“China’s position on the Ukraine issue has been consistent and clear, advocating for resolving the crisis through political means and avoiding an escalation of the situation,” Lin Jian said.
