China Urges Political Settlement of Ukraine War
(MENAFN) China renewed its push Monday for a negotiated resolution to the Ukraine conflict, raising alarm over nuclear safety after Ukraine accused Russia of striking a spent fuel storage facility within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Beijing "attaches high importance to the safety and security of nuclear facilities," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular news conference in Beijing.
The ultimate resolution of this issue is "contingent on the political settlement of the conflict. Dialogue and negotiation is the only viable way out," he said, urging the relevant parties to work for "early de-escalation and accumulate conditions for resuming dialogue and negotiation."
The remarks followed Ukraine's accusation that Russia carried out an overnight drone assault Sunday on a nuclear storage installation within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone — a site already etched into global memory as the scene of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986. Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said a Russian drone struck a building at Ukraine's Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility, igniting a fire that emergency crews subsequently extinguished.
Moscow offered no immediate response to Kyiv's allegations regarding the attack on the spent fuel storage facility.
The incident intensifies international anxiety over nuclear safety as the Ukraine conflict grinds on, with Beijing — which has consistently declined to condemn Russia's military campaign — once again positioning itself as an advocate for diplomacy over confrontation.
