  Zhang Jun said that we believe that the door to a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian issue has not been completely closed and should not be closed.

  The Chinese side has pointed out many times that the Ukraine issue has a complex history, and the evolution of the situation is the result of the combined effect of various factors.

  China's position on safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of various countries is consistent, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should also be jointly safeguarded.

We hope that the relevant parties will remain calm and rational, and be committed to strengthening dialogue and consultation in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter to resolve relevant issues through negotiation, and properly address the legitimate security concerns of all parties.

At present, it is especially necessary to avoid intensifying conflicts.

China will continue to promote peace talks in its own way, and welcome and encourage all efforts to promote a diplomatic solution.
