The Kremlin is paying close attention to China’s 12-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war which Beijing released last Friday.

“Any attempt to develop a plan that will help to transfer the conflict to a peaceful course deserves attention. We treat the plan of our Chinese friends with great attention,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing in the capital Moscow.

In response to a question on the details of the plan, Peskov said it should be thoroughly analyzed “taking into account the interests of the various parties,” further noting: “This is a very intense process.”

On Friday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry released a statement listing the Beijing’s position on a political settlement to the war in Ukraine, where 12 points were listed, including respecting the sovereignty of all countries, ceasing hostilities, resuming peace talks, and resolving the humanitarian crisis in the region.

The plan also calls for keeping nuclear power plants safe, facilitating grain exports, and stopping unilateral sanctions, noting that “dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution to the Ukraine crisis.”
