China Calls for De-escalation of Ukraine Conflict at G20 Summit

President Xi Jinping urges G20 leaders to support a political solution and avoid further escalation in Ukraine.

• Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the need for a political solution to the Ukraine conflict during the G20 summit in Brazil.
• China maintains a stance of neutrality, asserting it does not provide lethal aid to any party, yet remains a close ally of Russia.
• Beijing's calls for de-escalation follow a significant Russian missile attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
• The U.S. recently approved Ukraine's use of long-range missiles against Russian targets, intensifying the conflict.
• China's efforts to mediate are seen as rhetorical, with no tangible impact on reducing tensions or influencing Moscow.
