China is not considering participating in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine after the end of the war.
This was stated on March 24 by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang during a briefing in Beijing, reports the Ukrinform correspondent.
According to him, media reports claiming that negotiations with the EU are underway on this issue are "completely false."
Geng emphasized that China will continue working with the international community to promote peace talks, achieve a ceasefire, and end the conflict, which Beijing continues to refer to as the "crisis in Ukraine."
Earlier, it was reported that China was seeking the EU's opinion on potential participation in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
"Welt" wrote that China’s involvement could help persuade Russia to accept the mission, but Moscow remains opposed.
