"We will continue to promote peaceful dialogue and the negotiation process, we will play a constructive role in the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a briefing.

The diplomat recalled that Beijing maintains contacts with Kiev on relevant issues, including the six-point consensus of China and Brazil, which is already supported by more than 110 countries.

"This initiative is aimed at de—escalating the conflict and preventing the risk of its expansion, at a cease-fire, protecting global supply chains, increasing humanitarian assistance and preventing the use of nuclear weapons," Mao Ning added.
