We are willing to maintain communication with Ukraine and work with the international community to play a constructive role in achieving an early political solution to the crisis.
Sebiga stated that Ukraine and China enjoy traditional friendship and are important strategic partners. China is a major power with significant international influence. Ukraine highly values its relations with China. As Ukraine's largest trading partner, the two countries have enormous potential for cooperation. Ukraine adheres to the one-China principle and will take concrete measures to safeguard the safety and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and enterprises in Ukraine. Ukraine appreciates China's consistent respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and its positive efforts to promote peace talks. The war in Ukraine should end, and Ukraine looks forward to China playing an important role in achieving an early ceasefire and comprehensive peace.
