Chinese envoy Geng Shuang has called on the United States to support peace efforts in Ukraine rather than sending more weapons to the battlefield. Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, Geng urged all parties to reduce tensions and seek a political solution to the crisis.
🚫🔥 \"The immediate priority is to prevent the conflict from escalating and to promote dialogue for peace,\" Geng said. He emphasized that China has consistently advocated for a ceasefire and negotiations since the start of the conflict.
Geng criticized the U.S. for its continued arms transfers to Ukraine, accusing it of \"aggravating security tensions in Europe\" and \"pushing its geopolitical strategy.\" He also dismissed claims that China is providing decisive support to Russia, stating that China has not supplied weapons to any party involved and strictly controls dual-use items.
\"Who is truly supporting peace, and who is obstructing it? 🌍 The international community sees this very clearly,\" Geng remarked, highlighting China's efforts to promote a peaceful resolution.
He called on the global community to create favorable conditions for peace talks and to provide constructive assistance. Geng also warned that actions aimed at inciting confrontation and creating divisions would ultimately harm everyone involved, including the U.S.
Let's hope for cooler heads to prevail and for peace to return to Ukraine soon. ✨💖
