Presidential National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan spoke on CNN about China's plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

He said he could not predict the future, but that Washington will not dictate to Kyiv how the conflict will end.

According to Sullivan, Beijing's plan should focus on the first point: respect for countries' sovereignty.

He also noted that Ukrainians themselves must decide their own fate.

The settlement plan presented by Beijing consists of 12 points. The document contains, among other things, calls for a cease-fire and cessation of hostilities, avoiding an escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, as well as for an early resumption of dialogue between the Russian and Ukrainian sides.
