China could play a crucial role in bringing an end to the war in Ukraine, says Volodymyr Zelenskyj. China is also represented here (in the UN General Assembly), a powerful nation that Russia is completely dependent on, says the Ukrainian president in New York.

The statements from Zelenskyj come after, among others, the USA urged China to boycott Russian oil.

If China really wanted to put an end to the war, they could persuade Moscow to end its invasion. Without China, Putin's Russia is nothing. But all too often, China is silent and distant instead of working actively for peace.

China firmly rejects that the country supplies Russia with weapons or anything else that can help the country in the war in Ukraine.

Since the first day of the crisis, China has had an objective, impartial stance that demands a cessation of hostilities and advocates for peace talks, says China's deputy ambassador to the UN, Geng Shuang.
