Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin and China’s special representative for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui emphasized the necessity of Moscow's involvement in any talks concerning a resolution for the situation in Ukraine, as per a statement by the Russian foreign ministry Sunday.
During his second visit to Europe to advocate for a political resolution to the Ukrainian crisis, the Chinese envoy engaged in discussions with Galuzin, with upcoming meetings planned in Poland, Ukraine and Germany.
The Russian foreign ministry highlighted a comprehensive and active exchange of perspectives on the Ukrainian crisis during the meeting, noting that any negotiations toward a diplomatic solution must include Russia and acknowledge its security interests.
In February 2022, Russia commenced a large-scale invasion of Ukraine under the guise of a "special military operation" aimed at "denazifying" the country.
Despite ongoing efforts, the conflict persists, resulting in civilian casualties almost daily, a characterization disputed by Kyiv and its Western allies as an unjustified territorial annexation.
