China cannot act as a peace mediator over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as Beijing’s stance would rob Kyiv of its sovereignty, according to Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.
“We’ve already seen that they are aligning themselves, or they want Russia to align to their version of the global order,” Landsbergis told Bloomberg TV’s Maria Tadeo after a meeting of his NATO counterparts in Brussels. “And definitely in that world order, Ukraine is not able to maintain its full sovereignty.”
