[China emphasizes that harmonious coexistence between Russia and Ukraine is a realistic option] October 10th, Ambassador Sun Lei, China’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, spoke at the UN Security Council’s emergency public meeting on Ukraine on October 9, stressing that the top priority is to cool down the situation, prevent battlefield spillover, and avoid escalation of the war. Harmonious coexistence between Russia and Ukraine is the only realistic option and is also the common expectation of the international community. It is hoped that the parties concerned will proceed from the fundamental and long-term interests of their own nations, respect each other's legitimate security concerns, eliminate the root causes of the crisis on the basis of full, complete and comprehensive compliance with the principles of the United Nations Charter, promote the construction of a balanced, effective and sustainable regional security architecture, and truly realize universal security and common security.
