The full text is as follows: Chairman: Yesterday, the Security Council just discussed the Ukrainian issue, and I have already stated the position of China. Today, I will not repeat it. Since the outbreak of the war, China has called on all parties involved in the conflict to cease fire and hostilities as soon as possible, start negotiations, and restore peace. Regrettably, the Ukrainian crisis continues to persist, with civilian casualties continuing to rise, causing deep pain and concern. We have repeatedly pointed out that the longer the war lasts, the more harm and destruction, turbulence and instability it will bring. Against the backdrop of direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, the continuous increase in the number of weapons on the battlefield and the enhancement of lethality and destructiveness will only exacerbate confrontation, prolong the war, which is not conducive to achieving a ceasefire and ending the war, contrary to the general expectations of the international community. We urge all parties to actively create an atmosphere and conditions for peace talks and provide assistance, and we call on the conflicting parties to work together to promote the cooling of the situation and political solutions instead of continuing military confrontations and attacks. Chairman, The Ukrainian crisis has taught us that security is mutual and equal. China advocates and adheres to the global security concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable development. It believes that the reasonable security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously. We support all efforts towards peace and emphasize addressing the root causes of this crisis, expecting to reach a fair, lasting, binding, and mutually acceptable peace agreement as soon as possible. China is willing to work with members of the "Friends of Peace" group on the Ukrainian issue and the Global South to continue to build consensus on peace and support peace efforts, making positive contributions to the political resolution of the crisis. Chairman, Just now, the representative of the United States once again spread false information and defamed and blackened China. This is completely unacceptable. If I am not mistaken, the last time the US side criticized China in the Security Council with the same narrative and on the same issue was during the previous administration in January this year. In the past four months, the Security Council has reviewed the Ukrainian issue many times, but the US has neither mentioned these situations nor shown any concern. Why, after more than four months, does the US side again repeat old tunes and start groundless accusations against China? The behavior of the US side at the Security Council further proves that the attack by the US side on China is not based on facts and is not aimed at solving problems but is driven by its own political needs, which is naked political manipulation. Here, I reiterate two points: first, China has never provided lethal weapons to either side of the conflict and has always strictly controlled dual-use items. Second, China firmly opposes groundless accusations and political manipulation. The United States bears major responsibility for the outbreak and continuation of the war and also has the responsibility to make efforts and play a role in ending the conflict early. We urge the US side to focus on current diplomatic efforts and stop the boring blame game. Thank you, Chairman.
