Over 110 Nations Support China-Brazil Peace Plan

China's Special Representative for Eurasian Affairs, Li Hui, announced that over 110 countries support the 'six-point consensus' developed with Brazil to promote a political resolution to the ongoing Ukraine crisis. The plan aims to de-escalate the conflict without addressing Ukraine's territorial integrity or the withdrawal of Russian troops. During his visit to Brazil on July 29, 2024, Li emphasized the need to cool the situation and discussed enhancing cooperation between China and Brazil in this context. The consensus includes calls for a peace conference and increased humanitarian assistance. Despite China's claims of broad support, specifics on the countries backing the proposal were not disclosed, and it has faced criticism for equating the aggressor with the victim. Meanwhile, Russian forces are reportedly preparing for new offensives in the Kharkiv region, indicating ongoing escalations in the conflict.
