In conjunction with the intensification of confrontations on the battlefronts in Ukraine and Russia's escalation of its bombing of Kiev and other Ukrainian cities, China entered the crisis line by trying to calm the situation. Khalil Al-Anani, professor of political science and international relations and researcher at the Arab Center in Washington, said China's efforts to enter the line of the Ukrainian crisis are only an attempt to save Russian face.
European countries are cautiously looking at Chinese mediation, as they see Beijing as a key ally of Moscow.
