By India Today World Desk: The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) chief Jens Stoltenberg stated that China doesn’t have “much credibility” on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, information company AFP reported. The assertion adopted Beijing’s name for a ceasefire and peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow on Friday.

The 12-point proposal tabled by the Chinese international ministry has supplied to finish the struggle between Russia and Ukraine. However, critics stated the proposal could bear no fruit as China has offered robust backing to Russian chief Vladimir Putin even throughout his invasion of Ukraine.

On Thursday, China advised the United Nations that “brutal facts offer ample proof that sending weapons will not bring peace,” simply days after the United States and Nato warned Beijing in opposition to offering Russia navy help. China deemed the provision of weapons to Ukraine as “adding fuel to the fire” within the UN.

“Adding fuel to the fire will only exacerbate tensions. Prolonging and expanding the conflict will only make ordinary people pay an even heftier price,” China’s deputy UN Ambassador Dai Bing advised the UN General Assembly.

In its proposal, China condemned the “unilateral sanctions” which have been imposed on Russia, since its “military offensive” started within the east European nation.

Without naming nations, China stated, these nations “should stop abusing unilateral sanctions” and do their “share in de-escalating the Ukraine crisis”. Beijing criticised the “Cold War mentality” in its proposal and stated, “The security of a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs.”
