The Chinese Foreign Ministry called for restraint after Zelensky's words about aviation in the Russian Federation

The parties to the Ukrainian conflict need to remain calm and restrained. This was stated by official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Guo Jiakun, commenting on the threats of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky against civil aviation in Russian airspace, RIA Novosti reports.

“Dialogue and negotiations are the only viable path to resolving the Ukrainian crisis, and the Chinese side calls on all parties to maintain calm and restraint,” the diplomat said.

On September 1, Zelensky addressed international airlines flying over Russia and called on them to refuse flights over the country because of drones. The head of Ukraine said that the Russian skies are becoming “completely dangerous.”
