Such an initiative was voiced by China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, who believes that the supply of weapons could only escalate the conflict and further aggravate the humanitarian catastrophe.

“It is necessary to abandon the deliveries of offensive weapons,” urged Zhang Jun.

Earlier the authorities of Canada and the Netherlands announced their intention to send offensive weapons to Ukraine. An increase in the supply of artillery weapons to Kiev was also reported by the United States.
