法新社记者中方一贯支持不干涉内政及尊重他国主权原则，俄罗斯承认“分裂地区”是否侵犯乌克兰主权？

AFP China has always supported the principle of non-interference and respect for state sovereignty. Has Russia’s recognition of “separatist regions” violated the sovereignty of Ukraine?

中方对乌克兰局势演变表示关注。中方在乌克兰问题上的立场是一贯的，任何国家的合理安全关切都应得到尊重，联合国宪章的宗旨和原则应当得到共同维护。乌克兰问题演变至今，与新明斯克协议迟迟未能有效执行密切相关。中方将继续按照事情本身的是非曲直，与各方接触。乌克兰局势正趋于恶化。中方再次呼吁各方保持克制，认识到落实安全不可分割原则的重要性，通过对话谈判缓和事态，化解分歧。

China is closely monitoring the evolving situation in Ukraine. China’s position on the Ukraine issue is consistent. The legitimate security concerns of any country should be respected, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be jointly upheld. What has happened on the Ukraine issue has much to do with the long delay in the effective implementation of the Minsk-2 agreement. China will continue to engage all parties based on the merits of the matter itself. The situation in Ukraine is getting worse. China once again calls on all parties to exercise restraint, appreciate the importance of implementing the principle of indivisible security, and de-escalate the situation and resolve differences through dialogue and negotiation.

汪文斌我刚才已经介绍了中方在乌克兰问题上的立场。乌克兰问题有着复杂的历史经纬和现实因素，中方在乌克兰问题上的立场是一贯的、明确的，没有发生变化。中方主张根据联合国宪章的原则，和平解决争端，呼吁相关各方保持克制，通过谈判化解分歧，避免局势继续升级。

Wang Wenbin I just stated China’s position on the Ukraine issue. There is a complex historical context and complicated factors at play on this issue. China’s position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and clear and remains unchanged. China maintains that disputes should be peacefully resolved in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter. We call on relevant parties to exercise restraint, resolve differences through negotiation and avoid further escalation of tension.
