'Not rational' for China to be negotiating a
peace, Biden says
The US
president, Joe Biden, has said it was “not rational” for China to be
negotiating the outcome of the Ukraine war, when asked about Beijing’s peace
plan for the conflict.
“Putin’s
applauding it, so how could it be any good?” Biden told ABC News on Friday.
“The idea
that China is going to be negotiating the outcome of a war that’s a totally
unjust war for Ukraine, is just not rational.”
China
called for a ceasefire and peace talks between Ukraine and Russia on Friday,
offering a 12-point proposal to end the fighting.
China’s
plan urges both sides to agree to a gradual de-escalation and warns against the
use of nuclear weapons.
Volodymyr
Zelenskiy has cautiously welcomed China’s peace plan to end Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine but said it would be acceptable only if it led to Vladimir Putin
pulling his troops out from all occupied Ukrainian territory.
The
Ukrainian president said he “wanted to believe” Beijing was interested in a
“fair peace”. That meant not “supplying weapons to Russia”, he said, adding:
“I’m doing my best to prevent that from happening. This is priority
number one.”
