WASHINGTON should promote dialogue for a peaceful settlement to the war in Ukraine, China said today, warning against labelling Russia a terrorist state.
“The US should create favourable conditions to advance Russian-Ukrainian peace talks.
“Washington should take steps to facilitate a political settlement to the crisis in Ukraine,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a press conference.
He said that a peace deal is the only way to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine and bring an end to six months of conflict.
“Washington should take more steps which will positively impact a political settlement,” he said.
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi urged hawkish US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a phone call today to label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.
She reportedly told him that if the State Department refused to do so then the legislative branch of the US government would.
The pair deliberated over the issue last week, according to the Politico media outlet.
Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov poured scorn on the proposal.
“However, on the other hand, it is very difficult to do something that can make relations between Russia and the US even worse,” he said.
Washington remains resolutely opposed to a peace deal with Russia while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that now is not the time for negotiations.
He insists that meaningful talks can only take place once Russian troops have left Ukrainian territory, including Crimea which was annexed by Moscow in 2014.
Russia will be reluctant to pull back troops from the eastern Donbass region, fearing a massacre of Russian-speakers there.
Some 14,000 have been killed there since the US-backed 2014 Maidan coup.
Tensions have escalated once more with Ukraine accusing Russia of “barbarism” after a missile strike on the port of Odessa just hours after a deal was struck to allow the movement of grain.
Moscow says it destroyed a vessel laden with US supplied Harpoon missiles and today claimed it would not affect the Istanbul agreement.
“This [the strike] is related solely to the military infrastructure. This has nothing to do with the infrastructure involved in fulfilling the accords and grain shipments.
“That is why, this cannot and will not affect the start of the shipment process,” Mr Peskov said.

Sanction isn’t working, now they’ve resorted to name calling

You are funny, US went to Iraq, complete their Mission and captured Saddam, handed over the Country Back to elected Government of Iraq, Where you expecting them to start colonize Iraq after that?


Aghan; US went to Aghan to defeat Alqadar and capture Bin laden, They even stayed their up to 20 years aftee Mission have been completed,how is it they ran away? It shows you actually did not know the mussion Objectives of both Wars.
As for you not knowing that US forces are still in Syria shows you are not current of What is happening there.

Nancy Pelosi is a stupid woman, come for how long has this woman been in govt as house speaker cos I don't understand how since I was 10yrs old this same woman has been in office, she's the longest serving house of reps leader, we need fresh ideas, this woman is sick asking US to designate Russia as terrorist state, plunging US into deeper crisis with a nuclear iced nation as Russia, US cannot and I repeat cannot afford to go to war with Russia at this time, US should avoid any direct confrontation with Moscow and keep China closer, China is graciously watching US and wanting to precipite a war btw this two world powers to assume position as the most advanced nation on planet earth, US should resist any attempt to fight Russia and should as a matter of urgency instigate war btw Russia and China themselves,

USA is the only terrorist country that has freedom to destroy other countries.
