Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is visiting Moscow as Russia and Ukraine discuss a proposed ceasefire plan by US President Donald Trump. The two countries agreed in principle to a limited truce, but details remain unclear. Chinese officials emphasize their neutrality in the conflict, calling for dialogue and negotiation. Beijing has provided strong diplomatic support for Russia since its invasion of Ukraine three years ago, but has not supplied Russia with weapons or military expertise.
Wang’s visit comes amid tensions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom Trump criticized on Sunday. However, Chinese officials stress that their cooperation with Russia does not target a third party. The Chinese government is also seeking to expand its strategic coordination with Russia in various fields.
Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has publicly expressed his support for Russia’s war efforts in Ukraine. This comes after intelligence assessments suggested North Korea may have sent additional troops to Russia following heavy casualties suffered by Ukrainian forces. China’s stance on the conflict remains unchanged, focusing on promoting diplomacy and cooperation in regional issues of common concern.
