"Ukraine will be discussed for sure. In general, we hail any peace initiatives, and, of course, Moscow likes the Chinese side’s vision of possible prospects, possible grounds for attempts to settle the situation," he said in an interview with Ren-TV, TASS reported.
He stressed that a heated discussion is ahead.
"We know the situation on the Ukrainian side, which excludes any talks for itself even from the legal point of view. So, the process is going to be long, but we like the Chinese side’s constructive position," he added.
