Beijing has reiterated its appeal to speed up efforts in de-escalating the Ukraine crisis and facilitating peace talks, as the Russia-Ukraine conflict has dragged on for more than two years with no immediate resolution in sight.

俄乌冲突已持续两年多，和平迹象仍未显现。中方再次呼吁加快努力缓和乌克兰危机、促进和平谈判。

The international community should work together to build stronger consensus on a cease-fire and promote a political settlement, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a United Nations Security Council high-level meeting on Tuesday in New York.

24日，中共中央政治局委员、外交部长王毅在纽约联合国总部举行的安理会乌克兰问题高级别会议上表示，国际社会应共同努力，就停火达成更有力的共识，并推动政治解决。

The prolonged crisis "adds to the suffering of the people, inflicts further damage on the region, and brings greater instability to the world", Wang said.
王毅说，危机每延宕一天，都会给人民带来更多苦难，给地区造成更多破坏，给世界带来更多动荡不安。

The top priority is to follow the three principles of "no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting and no provocation by any party", which were put forward by China and Brazil in a consensus document on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis in May, the foreign minister said.
王毅表示，当务之急是遵守“战场不外溢、战事不升级、各方不拱火”三原则。该原则是在今年5月中国和巴西关于政治解决乌克兰危机的共识文件中提出的。

Parties involved should avoid using weapons of mass destruction and refrain from attacking civilians, civilian facilities and peaceful nuclear facilities, such as nuclear power plants, he said.

王毅强调，有关各方不应使用大规模杀伤性武器，不应袭击平民和民用设施，不应攻击核电站等和平核设施。

"The more weapons are delivered to the battlefield, the harder it will be to achieve a cease-fire—this is a reality we must confront," Wang said, urging all parties to abandon Cold War confrontational thinking and play a constructive role in de-escalating tensions.
“向战场输送武器越多，停火目标越难实现，这是需要面对的客观现实。”王毅呼吁，各方应摒弃冷战对抗思维，为局势降温发挥建设性作用。

Pointing out that holding dialogue and negotiations is the only way out of the crisis, he warned that if peace talks fail to happen in time, misunderstanding and misjudgment would accumulate, risking a greater crisis.
王毅指出，对话谈判是解决乌克兰危机的唯一可行出路。如果和谈迟迟无法开启，误解误判就会累积增加，进而酿成更大危机。
