China's deputy representative to the United Nations (UN) affirmed that sanctions imposed on Russia will not bring peace to Ukraine, but will only accelerate the spillover of the crisis.

"China once again calls on all parties to stay rational and exercise restraint, transcend prejudice and pisions, and make unremitting efforts for the early resolution of the crisis in Ukraine and for children to enjoy a peaceful future," said Dai Bing.

He also stressed that peace is the only way to protect Ukrainian children, highlighting the sweeping food, energy, and financial crises across the globe that lead children to suffer the bitter consequences.

"Achieving peace is the best protection for children. Dialogue and negotiation is the most realistic and feasible way to reach a cease-fire," Dai noted. "The international community should encourage Russia and Ukraine to return to the negotiation track and to keep accumulating political conditions for the restoration of peace."

The Chinese envoy asserted that China calls for securing children and the civilian infrastructure on which they depend, and to give priority to children in evacuation and humanitarian relief operations.

In the same vein, he pointed out that the war has uprooted more than half of the Ukrainian children, adding that millions of children have taken refuge in neighboring countries.
