China considers it necessary to address the root causes of the conflict and take into account the legitimate security concerns of all parties in order to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations Sun Lei said at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine convened at the initiative of Western countries, APA reports.
"It is extremely important to address the root causes of the crisis and achieve lasting peace. There are no winners in conflicts and wars," the diplomat noted.
According to him, the parties concerned should draw lessons from the Ukraine crisis and adhere to the principle of indivisible security.
"The parties should pay due attention to each other's legitimate security concerns, particularly taking into account the root causes of the conflict. At the same time, a balanced, effective and sustainable regional security architecture should be established," Sun Lei emphasized.
