Chinese President Xi Jinping told visiting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that Russia and Ukraine would be better off giving up their weapons and resolving their issues diplomatically.
“It is in the interests of all parties to end hostilities and find a political solution as soon as possible,” China’s state broadcaster CCTV quoted Xi as saying.
“At present, following three principles is of paramount importance: preventing fire from going beyond the battlefield, preventing escalation and preventing anyone from fueling the conflict,” Xi insisted.
In addition, he emphasized the necessity of “helping to de-escalation as soon as possible.”
