China can stop Russia's war against Ukraine
Earlier, US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said that China plays a key role in supporting Russian aggression against Ukraine and, in his opinion, Beijing could influence the end of the war with a single phone call to Moscow.
At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously stated that China was not currently showing any interest in ending Russia's war against Ukraine.
