On the need to stop the war with Ukraine.

It is necessary to de-escalate the military conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible and pave the way for a political settlement, said Chinese President Xi Jinping during the plenary session of the BRICS summit.

“China and Brazil have reached a six-point consensus on resolving the Ukrainian crisis. Together with the relevant countries, we initiated the creation of a group of “friends of peace” at the UN. It is important to de-escalate the situation as soon as possible,” Xi Jinping said.

After that, the Chinese leader said that the BRICS countries act as the “first phalanx” of the Global South and must demonstrate “collective wisdom” and take responsibility for “maintaining peace and achieving universal security.”

The day before, on October 23, Xi Jinping, also at the BRICS summit, called for refraining from “adding fuel to the fire” and drawing third countries into the war in Ukraine. This statement by the Chinese leader came amid reports of soldiers from the DPRK being sent to Russia, who are preparing to take part in military operations.
