Chinese ambassador Li Hui met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy this week, as Beijing kicked off a European tour aimed at brokering peace.

“There is no panacea for the crisis,” Li told the Ukrainian leader, according to a readout published Thursday by China’s Foreign Ministry. Ending the war would require all parties to “build up trust and create conditions for ceasefire and peace talks,” he added.
