Brazil and China are calling for an international conference recognized by both Russia and Ukraine to discuss proposals to halt the war, throwing up an alternative to a push by Kyiv for its own Western-backed peace plan.
China and Brazil both released a statement outlining “common understandings” on a path to resolving the war, which started when Russian invaded Ukraine in February 2022. It is the first time China has signed a joint declaration with another country about the conflict.
