Peace in Ukraine cannot be determined by United States and Russia alone – China’s Special Envoy to EU Lu Shaye
China's Special Envoy for European Affairs, Lu Shaye, said he was "appalled" by US President Donald Trump's attitude toward allies in Europe. He believes that a peace agreement for Ukraine should not be determined by the United States and Russia alone.
This is reported by the South China Morning Post, Censor.NET informs.
"If you look at how the Trump administration is pursuing a brazen and despotic policy towards Europe, doing this to its allies, then, frankly, from a European point of view, it is simply terrible," he said on March 5 on the sidelines of the annual session of the People's Political Consultative Conference.
Lu Shaye noted that European countries should reflect on Trump's behavior and compare his policies with those of China.
According to him, by comparing this, the EU will see that China's diplomatic approach is aimed at "peace, friendship, goodwill, and mutually beneficial cooperation."
Lu Shaye is convinced that the US negotiations with Russia are really aimed at resolving the full-scale war in Ukraine.
He emphasized that any peace process should include the recognition and participation of all stakeholders, including European countries.
"The various proposed solutions should be subject to equal discussion, not dictated by a select few," he added.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump received an "important letter" from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which he assures him that Ukraine is ready to sit down at the negotiating table.
