MADRID, March 17 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The British government has urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to capitalize on his future visit to Moscow to ask President Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops in Ukraine, which have been deployed for more than a year.

“If China wants to play a genuine role in restoring Ukraine’s sovereignty, we will obviously appreciate it,” a Downing Street spokesman said, according to British news channel Sky News.

However, London has emphasized that a hypothetical peace agreement must have guarantees in terms of sovereignty and self-determination in favor of Ukraine, otherwise it cannot be considered “at all” a peace plan.

“So we will continue to call on China, as we have done before, to join the rest of the world in asking Putin to withdraw his troops from Ukraine,” they said from the British Executive.

Chinese and Russian authorities reported Friday that President Xi will pay an official visit to Russian territory between March 20 and 22 as part of the deepening of bilateral ties and after Beijing presented a peace plan to end the conflict in Ukraine.

The Chinese government proposed a few weeks ago a peace plan for Ukraine consisting of twelve proposals in an effort to provide a political solution to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in which it called for a ceasefire on both sides and maintaining territorial integrity. country.
