China supports all efforts conducive to peace talks in Ukraine, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, and stressed that Gaza and the West Bank are "not a bargaining chip in political trade-offs.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi commented on the American resolution adopted by the UN Security Council (UNSC), which calls for peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Marking a sharp U-turn in policy, the US led a ‘neutral’ resolution on Ukraine at the UN Security Council, omitting any mention of Russia’s aggression or Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The move signals a major shift under President Donald Trump,
Two resolutions were tabled for voting in the UNGA against 'Russian aggression in Ukraine' where the US voted against one while abstaining on its own draft after it was amended. The same original draft was taken to UNSC where it was adopted.
The UN Security Council has adopted the US-drafted resolution on the conflict in Ukraine in its original form, rejecting amendments by both European countries and Russia, a TASS correspondent reported.

Russia views the resolution on the conflict in Ukraine adopted by the UN Security Council as a starting point for further efforts to peacefully settle the crisis, the country's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said.
