China has consistently maintained a rational and neutral stance on the Ukraine issue and has never ceased its diplomatic mediation efforts, said Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Russian, Eastern European, and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and Li Haidong, professor at Institute of International Relations at the China Foreign Affairs University in a recent talk with China News Service.
As of Monday, it had been three years since the escalation of the Ukraine crisis.
The two experts suggested that over the past three years, facts have demonstrated that the diplomatic resolution advocated by China is the only viable way out of the crisis, and military means cannot achieve the strategic objectives of any party.(Meng Xiangjun, He Luman, Shen Luyi)
