“If we have a country, whether it’s China or other countries that have significant influence, that are prepared to pursue a just and durable peace, we would welcome that … But first a clear understanding that in this instance there is a victim and there’s an aggressor, there is no moral equivalence between the two positions. Until recently, it was very unclear whether China accepted that basic principle. I’m still not sure that they do, but at least President Xi has now had a conversation with Zelensky. That’s a positive thing because it’s vitally important that China and other countries that have been seeking to advance peace hear from the victim, not just the aggressor.” - Sec. Antony Blinken
