On   February 24, 2022, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone   conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Lavrov   introduced the evolution of the current situation in Ukraine and Russia's   position, saying that the United States and NATO broke their commitments,   continued to expand eastward, refused to implement the Minsk-2 agreement, and   violated UN Security Council Resolution 2202, and Russia was forced to take   necessary measures to safeguard its rights and interests.

Wang   Yi said, China always respects all countries' sovereignty and territorial   integrity. At the same time, we also see a complex and unique historical   context on the Ukraine issue, and understand Russia's legitimate concerns on   security issues. China holds that the Cold War mentality should be completely   abandoned, and a balanced, effective and sustained European security   mechanism should be finally formed through dialogue and negotiation.
