China News Service, Beijing, August 12th. In response to the Ukrainian army entering the Russian territory, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in response to reporters' questions on the 12th that China will continue to maintain communication with the international community and play a constructive role in promoting a political solution to the crisis.

A reporter asked, according to reports, the Ukrainian army recently invaded the Kursk region of Russia. The Russian side said that the Ukrainian army's attack has caused more than 60 civilian casualties. The Russian army has curbed the Ukrainian army's offensive and the Kursk region has declared a state of emergency. Ukrainian President Zelensky said in a speech that Russia brought the war to Ukrainian territory and should now feel the consequences of its actions. The US said that the US did not know the Ukrainian army's offensive plan in advance, and Ukraine's move was not an escalation, but a necessary move to win. The US allows Ukraine to use US-made weapons to fight back against attacks from the Russian border, and the Ukrainian army's action this time is in line with this situation. What is China's comment on this?

The spokesperson said that China has noted the relevant situation. China's position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and clear, and calls on all parties to abide by the "three principles" of cooling down the situation, namely, the battlefield does not spill over, the war does not escalate, and all parties do not add fuel to the fire. China will continue to maintain communication with the international community and play a constructive role in promoting a political solution to the crisis. (End)
