TOKYO -- Greece's foreign minister has urged China to work more closely with Moscow to bring about an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, which has already killed thousands and displaced millions. Greece and China have close economic ties, with Chinese companies investing in Greek infrastructure.

"If China wishes," Nikos Dendias said during an interview on Wednesday at the Greek Embassy in Tokyo, "it could have great influence [over] the situation in Ukraine. That will be beneficial for everyone -- for China, for Russia and also for us."
