China, which has proposed its plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, “does not distinguish the aggressor from the victim,” said EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

“This is not really a peace plan, and basically it repeats the well-known positions of China, some of which we share, while important ones are missing. Of course, we will study it, but it is already clear that the key problem is that he does not distinguish between the aggressor and the victim, equalizing them, ”Borrel emphasized.

Recall that earlier the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement with Beijing’s position on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. The document consists of 12 points, among which is the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and the resumption of direct dialogue between Moscow and Kiev. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he considers China’s proposals for a settlement “not a plan of action, but Beijing’s reflections on this topic.” In turn, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, also said that he did not consider China’s proposals on Ukraine to be a peace plan. In his opinion, it is rather a positional document.
