Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko said that Moscow highly appreciates Beijing's peace initiative on the situation in Ukraine, unlike the West. It is reported by TASS.

“We will see how it will be in the future. Everything will largely depend on the reaction of those countries that directly supervise Kyiv, ”the diplomat said in a conversation with reporters.

Earlier, Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, criticized the proposals to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, which belong to Brazil, the Vatican, China and African countries. He also considered China's proposals for a ceasefire in Ukraine to be "absurd". He opined that "this is not a plan for peace, this is a plan for surrender".

Prior to this, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, Wopke Hoekstra, said that Amsterdam considers such points of the PRC's plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine as nuclear security and a grain deal to be valuable.
