China Calls For Eliminating 'Root Causes' Of War In Ukraine Based On UN Charter Principles
"We call on all parties to step up efforts to resume negotiations, demonstrate political will toward each other, and dedicate themselves to eliminating all root causes of the conflict based on full and complete compliance with the principles of the UN Charter, with a view to reaching a comprehensive, lasting, and binding peace agreement," Sun said.
He said that ongoing hostilities are causing "immense suffering" for both Ukrainians and Russians, as well as a continuous rise in civilian casualties.
"If the conflict continues indefinitely, it will only bring more suffering, cause more destruction, plunge more innocent people into this senseless tragedy, and make the situation even more unpredictable," the Chinese diplomat said.

"Alongside the international community, China is ready to continue playing a constructive role in promoting a political settlement to the crisis," he said.
Beijing claims neutrality in Russia's war against Ukraine and avoids explicitly identifying an aggressor or victim. Chinese officials regularly call for a settlement based on the UN Charter while emphasizing the need to address all "root causes" of the conflict – a formulation that echoes Russian narratives used to justify the invasion.
