Evandro Menezes di Carvalho, coordinator of the Brazilian Center for Expertise and Analysis “Getúlio Vargas Foundation”, assessed the PRC’s plan for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict and identified its weaknesses and strengths.

Thus, according to the expert, it is very important that such an initiative belongs to a major player on the world stage, which is a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

“The strength of the proposal lies in the very fact that it comes from China. It would be worse if China simply ignored this war, took no steps to develop a peaceful solution, or actively assisted Russia with weapons,” TASS quotes Carvalho.

At the same time, noted the coordinator, the lack of specific solutions and ideas to resolve the current situation significantly weakens the plan proposed by Beijing.

Recall that on Friday, a statement containing twelve points on Beijing’s position on a political settlement of the conflict in Ukraine was posted on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC. Among the main points were the need to respect the territorial integrity of all states, the resumption of direct dialogue between Russia and Ukraine, as well as a call to prevent further escalation.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Beijing’s ideas for resolving the conflict are just “thoughts” and not a plan. Read more about the subject in the article of the public press service.
