China calls for peace talks, cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine

On the eve of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China has called for a cease-fire between the two sides and for peace talks to commence as part of a 12-point plan to end the war.

On the eve of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China has called for a cease-fire between the two sides and for peace talks to commence as part of a 12-point plan to end the war.

China’s Foreign Ministry revealed the plan on Friday, Beijing time, and also called for the end of Western sanctions on Russia, measures to ensure nuclear facilities, humanitarian corridors for civilians to flee the conflict and a process to ensure the continuation of grain exports.

“All parties should support Russia and Ukraine in working in the same direction and resuming direct dialogue as quickly as possible,” the paper released on China’s Foreign Ministry’s website stated.

In the proposal, China indicated its opposition to the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict, as well as the threat of deploying them.

“Nuclear weapons must not be used and nuclear wars must not be fought. The threat or use of nuclear weapons should be opposed,” the paper said.

China also urged for civilians to be protected and for international law to be followed.

“Parties to the conflict should strictly abide by international humanitarian law, avoid attacking civilians or civilian facilities,” it said.

According to the United Nations human rights office, at least 8,000 non-combatants have been confirmed killed in the war in Ukraine and more than 13,000 have been injured.

Russia has also launched attacks against more than 250 Ukrainian hospitals since its Feb. 24, 2022, invasion, leaving nearly one in 10 Ukrainian hospitals damaged, according to a recent analysis by five different non-governmental organizations.

China, which days ago was bragging what a great friend of Russia it was, is now supposed to be trusted bring a “fair” peace deal?

yeah right

obviously, this is probably another give-away to Russia, its buddy

IOW, it’s no peace plan, just a plain old surrender

so it’s D.O.A.

Looks like the New York Post:

The NY Post has got the Daily Fail beat for a RAM-sucking garbage website.

This is pathetic. Not the Vatican, not the EU, not the UN, not the OSCE, but the Chicoms calling for talks. All those others should have been first.

LOL

see? that's what I'm talking about ... China's "peace plan" is merely a clumsy surrender to Russia

the sanctions ain't going away until Russia leaves Ukraine for good ... that part won't change

Checkmate to warmonger Biden. Just think how this plays with many nations around the world. China has been building its new Silk Road and making promises of prosperity to all kinds of third world countries. The US on the other hand is blowing hundreds of billions and escalating a war to higher levels on a near daily basis. Now China can say they not only want prosperity but also peace for the world. China, the land of peace and prosperity…never mind it includes near slavery, human rights abuses and all the tyranny trappings of totalitarian communism. Yeah, it’s propaganda, but effective propaganda.

China is not stupid. They know the Neocons will NEVER permit the war to end, since they’re benefiting so much from it.

Instead China is marketing itself to the Third World, the other 85% of humanity which is NOT imposing ‘sanctions’ on Russia, while those 85% see the Neocons as wanting this war to go on as long as Ukraine can fight, and then EXPAND the war at that point.

Why? Vatican worships Satan. EU is communist. UN was started with the only goal being world government, and they’re the good guys? There are no good guys. Trust God only, the rest is garbage.

Except even the shithole countries are starting to put it together than China, a fellow shithole country, is an exploiter and enslaver.

“Except even the shithole countries are starting to put it together than China, a fellow shithole country, is an exploiter and enslaver.”

I’ve heard the same, but Lavrov is a ROCK STAR when he meets with the Third World. As to China, they will have to change how they play if they want to catch up to Russia there. And, obviously, the US is a joke there, flying the Gay Pride Flag everywhere they go.

chicoms know this is a non-starter. so it will get ignored and rejected by the west, and china will go ahead with what they are planning to do anyway.
