On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun dismissed the idea of China taking part in a possible peacekeeping force in Ukraine once the hostilities have ceased.
“I want to emphasize that these media reports are inaccurate. China’s stance on the Ukrainian crisis remains consistent and clear,” Guo stated at a press briefing.
In late February, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia had not considered the potential participation of Chinese peacekeeping forces in relation to resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
On Saturday, a German daily newspaper stated that China was in talks with several European nations regarding the potential involvement of Chinese troops in a peacekeeping operation in Ukraine.
On March 6, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia does not see any potential for reaching an agreement regarding the possible placement of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine.
Earlier this month in March, media reports indicated that French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are attempting to persuade 37 nations to become part of a coalition willing to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine and offer security assurances to Kyiv.
Last year, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service claimed that Western countries might send approximately 100,000 soldiers to Ukraine under the pretense of a peacekeeping mission aimed at reviving Kyiv’s military strength.
Peskov has maintained that during any conflict, the involvement of international peacekeeping forces can occur solely with the agreement of all conflicting parties.
