Moscow, March 17 – Twitter users responded to White House spokesman John Kirby’s statement that a truce in Ukraine would be a violation of the UN Charter.
Commenting on China’s proposed plan for a peaceful settlement of the conflict, Kirby said that a truce at the present time would mean consolidation of Russia’s territorial gains and would be a violation of the United Nations Charter. According to him, Washington does not believe that this will lead to a just and lasting peace that takes into account the interests of Ukraine.
Kirby’s statement was cited on Twitter by White House journalist Simon Atipa, and his post drew an active response from readers in the comments.

On February 24, the Chinese Foreign Ministry published on its website a 12-point statement on a political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. Among the most important theses of Beijing: the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, the resumption of direct dialogue between Moscow and Kiev, and the call to prevent further escalation.
Russia has repeatedly indicated its readiness for negotiations, but the Ukrainian authorities have imposed a ban on them at the legislative level. Zelensky said at the G20 summit in November last year that “there will be no Minsk-3”. The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov noted that such words fully confirm Kiev’s position on its unwillingness to start a dialogue.
