This follows a recent meeting between Chinese officials and Dmytro Kuleba, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, who visited China from July 23 to 25, 2024.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, China, which was seen as one of Russia’s major backers in the wake of the 2022 invasion, also assured that it would not supply weapons to Russia.<\/p>\n

The visit of a Ukrainian official at this level to China was the first in many years, Ukrainian official Vasyl Ivashko said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a clear signal of Beijing’s openness to dialogue with Kyiv,\u201d Ivashko stated.<\/p>\n

The official further affirmed Ukraine\u2019s readiness for a diplomatic settlement of the war with the Russian Federation but accused Russia of lacking such commitment. <\/p>\n

\u201cMoscow is not ready to conduct negotiations in good faith,\u201d Ivashko added.<\/p>\n

Following the recent talks, the Ukrainian side has invited China to a second summit aimed at securing lasting peace with the Kremlin after more than two years of war. The country says efforts are ongoing to attract Russian representatives to the meeting.<\/p>\n

The first summit was held in Switzerland in June and was attended by delegations from 92 countries. Russia was not represented at the meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cUkraine is convinced that a just peace in Ukraine corresponds to China’s strategic interests, and China’s role as a global peace force is important,\u201d Ivashko noted.<\/p>\n

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This marked a dramatic escalation of a conflict that had been simmering since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatists in eastern Ukraine. <\/p>\n

The invasion was a surprise to the world and widely condemned as an illegal act of aggression. The conflict has caused a massive humanitarian crisis, with millions of Ukrainians displaced and thousands killed.<\/p>\n

The invasion has had far-reaching consequences, including economic sanctions on Russia, a surge in energy prices, and a strengthening of NATO. The war continues, with intense fighting in various parts of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
