US President Joe Biden considered today, Saturday, that the plan proposed by China to settle the crisis in Ukraine benefits “Russia only”.
“I haven’t seen anything in this plan that would benefit any country except Russia,” Biden said in an interview with the American news channel “ABC”.
In this regard, Biden saw that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, applauded this plan, asking: “What is the benefit of it?”
The US president called the idea that China would negotiate for Ukraine to end a “totally unjust war” “illogical”.
Yesterday, Friday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry published a document consisting of 12 items presenting Beijing’s position on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. It is noteworthy that the Russian president has not yet commented on the Chinese initiative.
The document called for an end to the fighting and the launch of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible.
In response to the proposal, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow appreciates China’s sincere desire to contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
Biden also said he did not expect a major initiative by China to supply weapons to Russia.
Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he intends to hold a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, after Beijing submitted proposals to settle the conflict, welcoming some elements of the Chinese proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
Earlier, Beijing called for stopping military operations in Ukraine, starting a negotiation process, and resuming direct dialogue as soon as possible.
China considered it important to abandon “unilateral sanctions and pressure, as it will not solve the problem and will create new problems.”
It is noteworthy that China has called on the United States more than once to settle the Ukrainian crisis politically instead of fueling it, and also called for an end to the war in Ukraine, and confirmed that its relationship with Russia is not against anyone.
Negotiations took place between Moscow and Kiev after the Russian military operation in Ukraine to end it. The foreign ministers of the two countries met last March in Turkey without reaching substantial results. Since the negotiations faltered, the two sides exchanged accusations of causing this stalemate.
