In a dramatic twist, China has signaled its readiness to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine if a ceasefire is reached, according to German outlet Die Welt citing EU diplomats.
But Beijing insists this can only happen under a United Nations mandate.
The move has stunned Brussels, where reactions are deeply divided.
Some EU officials say China’s participation could legitimize foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine.
Others warn Beijing might use the deployment to spy, strengthen Moscow’s position, and disguise its pro-Russian tilt under the cover of neutrality.
With U.S.-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine stumbling and heated debates over security guarantees, China’s sudden willingness to join the peacekeeping conversation raises more questions than answers.
Could Russia’s closest ally really monitor the battlefield—or would it tilt the scales further in Moscow’s favor?
