"When we talk about resolving the conflict in Ukraine and rebuilding Ukrainian regions, partners such as China are key to the post-war environment," Janus Putkonen said

LUGANSK, October 31. /TASS/. China maintains a neutral position on the conflict in Ukraine, and this contributes to the search for solutions to its settlement, Janus Putkonen, Finnish journalist, geopolitical analyst and editor-in-chief of MV-Lehti international news agency, told TASS.
