• Direct War in Ukraine

The West called on China to mediate between Russia and Ukraine.

His growing influence on Putin was his best letter of introduction.

From Washington, US Secretary of State

Antony Blinken

pressed Chinese Foreign Minister

Wang Yi

in two calls to stop profiling the conflict.

From Brussels, Josep Borrell, High Representative for Foreign Policy of the European Union, said in the pages of EL MUNDO that

China should mediate with Russia to stop the invasion of Ukraine as soon as possible.

Beijing has been slow to take the step.

But the second world power seems to be already moving its first chips in the direction that the West demands, although it maintains its position of not condemning the attack by its partner Putin, not even defining it as an invasion.

This Tuesday, President Xi Jinping held a video conference with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Xi, according to the reading of the talk made by Beijing,

would have emphasized the importance of jointly supporting "through a coordinated response"

(including China) the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

"China deeply deplores the resumption of war on the European mainland," Xi said, clarifying that

China respects "the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries"

as well as "everyone's legitimate security concerns must be taken seriously." countries".

That last statement is a nod to Moscow's demands.

From Beijing they continue to share Putin's argument that his attack is a response to NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe.

"The priority is to prevent tensions from escalating or even getting out of control.

China appreciates the efforts of France and Germany to mediate the Ukraine situation,

and is willing to maintain communication and coordination with France, Germany and the EU, and play an active role with the international community in accordance with the needs of all parties involved," said Xi Jinping in his first approach to the Franco-German axis since the start of the conflict.

On Monday, the Chinese foreign minister promised that

China would send humanitarian aid to Ukraine

and already announced that the Asian giant was "working to promote peace talks."

It was the first direct statement in the past two weeks regarding China's role as a mediator.

Minister Wang later spoke with Borrell, and the Spaniard asked his country to support the establishment of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine to allow the evacuation of the civilian population.

"We would like to call for maximum restraint to avoid a large-scale humanitarian crisis. China has put forward a six-point initiative on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and is ready to provide more humanitarian aid to Ukraine," Xi Jinping confirmed on Tuesday. to Macron and to Scholz.

The Chinese president also took the opportunity to show the critical position that China maintains on the sanctions against Russia.

"We need to work together to reduce the negative impact of the crisis.

Relevant sanctions will have an impact on the stability of global financial

, energy, transport and supply chains, and will drag down the world economy, which is under the heavy burden of the epidemic, and they will be harmful to all parties," the Chinese president said.
