Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that Ukraine will soon adopt a new package of sanctions “against Russian entities and individuals who facilitate Russia’s aggression, which will include nationals of other countries, including China”.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, China has maintained close communication with relevant parties, including Russia and Ukraine, and stayed committed to a ceasefire and peace talks.
“Our efforts are there for all to see. China supports all efforts for peace and will continue to play a constructive role to that end.
On your second question, China opposes unilateral sanctions that violate international law and lack the authorization of the UN Security Council. We urge Ukraine to stop pursuing the wrong course at once. China will firmly protect the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies and nationals”, Lin said during a press conference.
