‘China has taken Russia’s side’: EU dismisses Beijing’s ‘misplaced’ plan for peace in Ukraine

The European Union has questioned the credibility of China’s position paper for peace in Ukraine, saying Beijing has already taken Moscow’s side in the war.

A 12-point position paper was released on Friday to mark the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion, opposing the use of sanctions and nuclear weapons, and calling on all parties to stop “fanning the flames” of the war.
