While its leaders have largely portrayed China as a peace-seeking independent party of the war, Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of the Kremlin.
While Chinese leaders had largely portrayed itself as a peace-seeking independent party of the war, Biden administration officials began warning the public a couple of weeks ago that the United States has intelligence indicating Beijing is considering providing lethal aid to Russia, which could mark a fundamental shift in the landscape of the war.
"China's paper on the political solution to the Ukrainian crisis has been released. The core of China's position is to promote peace and talks. We must stick to the direction of political settlement, abandon all Cold War mentality, respect the legitimate security concerns of all countries, and build a balanced, effective, and sustainable European security architecture," said Xi.
Chinese leaders have long called for such talks, but they have sided simultaneously with the Kremlin on topics such as the West's sanctions and aid to Ukraine. The U.S. has already sanctioned some Chinese companies that provided nonlethal support to Russian mercenaries, including satellite imagery to help target weapons in combat.
