China is willing to help with peace talks on Ukraine, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, at the Group of 20 summit in Bali.
“China will continue to uphold an objective and fair position and play a constructive role in persuading peace and promoting talks,” Wang said in the meeting on Tuesday, according to a statement by the Foreign Ministry in Beijing.
Wang also “noted” that Moscow had declared that nuclear war wasn’t an option, after Russian President Vladimir Putin last month denied intending to use such weapons in Ukraine.
