Li Hui, China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs, visited Kiev to convey Beijing's views on a diplomatic resolution to Ukraine's conflict with Russia. He held talks with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, and representatives from several other ministries. Li reiterated that Beijing is willing to serve as a peace broker to help reach a political resolution to the conflict with Russia, based on the principles outlined in a 12-point roadmap published by China in late February. The Ukrainian president has demanded that Russia withdraw from territories that Kiev claims as its own, pay war reparations, and face an international tribunal. The Kremlin has dismissed the initiative, claiming it does not take into consideration the realities on the ground.
