Since the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine last year, problems have emerged on all fronts, and the confrontations and conflicts between religions, cultures, and societies have been deepening.

The international community should focus on promoting peace talks, encouraging Russia and Ukraine to return to negotiations, and accumulating conditions of an early cease-fire. Two experts share their views on the issue with China Daily.

Unlike the US’ approach trying to turn the crisis into an indefinite war, China truly promotes peace, said Benyamin Poghosyan，chairman of the Center for Political and Economic Strategic Studies, Yerevan, Armenia.
