China Calls for Political Settlment of Ukrainian Crisis

China's Permanent Representative to United Nations (UN) Zhang Jun called for a political settlement of Ukraine crisis.

"We call for maximum restraint and for avoiding words and deeds that could exacerbate confrontation and lead to miscalculations,"  Chinese envoy said in his word during UN Security Council meeting on humanitarian situation in Ukraine.

"The Ukrainian crisis is still ongoing, the humanitarian situation is still very dire, and the indirect repercussions of the crisis are still evident," he added.

Moreover, the Chinese envoy also stressed that the international community should take positive steps to mitigate the humanitarian consequences of the conflict and make joint efforts to calm the situation and reach a cessation of hostilities as soon as possible.
