WASHINGTON -- U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken pushed back on China's latest proposal for peace between Russia and Ukraine, saying that Beijing cannot call for an end to the war while simultaneously supplying dual-use components that serve Moscow's war effort.
Blinken spoke to reporters on Friday after meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Earlier in the day, China and Brazil had convened a gathering of 17 developing countries to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. Their proposals include the need to prevent an escalation, to avoid the use of weapons of mass destruction, and to prevent attacks on nuclear power plants.
