"Avoid respect": the Russian Federation first spoke about the "peace plan" of China for Ukraine

The assistant of the Russian President also stressed that the Chinese plan was the subject of discussion during informal negotiations between Putin and Xi Jinping, which took place on March 20 in Moscow. "The conversation was useful for both sides" - commented on the meeting of leaders of China and the Russian Federation Ushakov.

The talks with the head of China was also spoken by Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that the conversation was about the prospects of further development of Russian-Chinese relations and was "frank" and "meaningful". Vladimir Putin noted that Beijing's position on Ukraine was carefully studied in Moscow. He also stated that the Kremlin was allegedly open for negotiations. The PRC has released their "peace plan" on the settlement of war in Ukraine on February 24, 2023.

The document consisting of 12 points refers to the need to restore peace negotiations, termination of hostilities, and the abolition of unilateral sanctions. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the Chinese proposal, noting that he could not call her a "peace plan. " According to the Ukrainian leader, the PRC simply expressed their thoughts on the war in Ukraine.

NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov, for his part, added that China's proposal can only be implemented if Russian troops were withdrawn from the territory of Ukraine or the surrender of the Russian Federation. The Chinese plan was also commented in the United States. According to US Presidential Advisor Jake Sullivan, Beijing could well limit himself to the first point - respect for the sovereignty of all states. The "peace plan" of China was criticized by the Foreign Minister Taiwan Joseph Wu.
