“We strongly urge an end to the conflict as soon as possible.

Beijing’s comments come as international pressure continues to build around efforts to bring Russia back to negotiations, while Moscow continues its war of aggression against Ukraine and strikes Ukrainian cities, infrastructure, and civilian areas.
Previously, Russian leader Vladimir Putin claimed that Ukraine proposed a mutual halt to long-range strikes against infrastructure targets.
Before that, he claimed that NATO countries were openly speaking about preparing for war with Russia, as he accused Western governments of using what he called a false Russian threat to justify rising military spending.
