This was reported on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“S.V. Lavrov and Qin Gang also discussed the current situation around Ukraine, including the position of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, and considered a number of topical international topics,” the report says.

On February 24, the Chinese Foreign Ministry published proposals to resolve the situation in Ukraine.

The plan consists of 12 points.

It calls for the start of peace talks and a ceasefire.

Also, the Chinese side opposes unilateral sanctions, which only create new problems.

Andriy Yermak, an adviser to the office of the Ukrainian president, said that Kyiv does not accept proposals for a ceasefire.

At the same time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that there are "positive elements" in China's plan to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
