Anonymous “Diplomatic Sources” of Brussels, however, note that Beijing’s involvement could “persuade” Russia to accept the presence of peacekeeping forces.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry denied Monday reports that Beijing could participate in a possible peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, which will be headed by the European Union.
“I would like to emphasize that these reports are completely untrue and China’s position on the crisis in Ukraine is consistent and clear,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakuan in answering a journalist’s question.
China claims to have a neutral stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine, but maintains close economic and political ties with Moscow while providing dual -use goods, such as armor equipment or unmanned aircraft.
According to the German newspaper Welt, which initially reported the information on Saturday, anonymous “diplomatic sources” in Brussels noted that China’s involvement “could potentially become more acceptable by Russia the peacekeeping forces in Ukraine”.
Although Russian President Vladimir Putin has completely rejected the presence of troops from NATO countries in Ukraine, Beijing’s participation in the mission could contribute to a successful peace effort.
The peace mission promoted by the “alliance of willing” is an initiative of Britain and France that aims to unite Europe’s allied governments to protect Ukraine after reaching any peace agreement. Canada and Turkey could also participate.
