The plan emphasizes the need for peace talks and respect for national sovereignty.
However, the document does not state that Russia should withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine. One of the conditions that Kiev sets in order to sit down at the negotiating table is exactly this – that Russia withdraw its troops to the borders of 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed.
According to Zelensky, there are points in the plan that are acceptable to Kyiv. In his position, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Moscow shares Beijing’s views.
There was also a reaction from Washington.
“Putin applauds. How then can it be good,” commented US President Joe Biden when asked about the Chinese plan. According to him, only the Russian Federation can benefit from the proposal.
