China suggested on March 1 that it was up to the task of playing a mediator role between Russia and Ukraine, despite the communist regime continuing to object to calling Moscow’s attack an invasion, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, in a phone call with his counterpart Wang Yi on Tuesday, asked China to “use its level of relations between Beijing and Moscow to force Russia to stop its armed aggression against the Ukrainian people,” the Ukraine embassy in Finland wrote on Twitter on March 1, citing the Ukrainian foreign ministry.
