China and Brazil have developed a joint “peace plan” for Russia's war against Ukraine. It does not contain the key points envisaged by the UN Charter.
Read more about the “peace initiative” of the two countries and how Ukraine is responding to it in the RBC-Ukraine article.
The so-called “peace plan” promoted by China and Brazil is a de facto alternative to the Ukrainian peace formula. But unlike the peace formula, it offers a scenario that will freeze, not end, the war.
The initiative of the two countries consists of the following six points:
It is important to note that this “peace plan” does not contain a single word about the withdrawal of Russian occupiers from Ukrainian territories, the punishment of war criminals, or compensation for Ukraine for the damage caused by the war. Despite this, the initiative has already been supported not only by the countries of the Global South and Hungary, but also by Switzerland.
At the same time, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently said that China and other countries of the Global South are creating a “friends of peace” platform on the “crisis in Ukraine.” The first meeting of the platform's members has already taken place during the UN General Assembly in New York.
Advisor to the President of Brazil, Celso Amorim, said that the “friends of peace” are ready to organize a summit with the participation of Russia and Ukraine.
