China could have used its influence as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council to persuade Russia to adhere to a U.N. resolution on peace for Ukraine backed by 141 countries, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Friday.
China's 12-point paper contains many familiar positions, said Baerbock, adding that it was important that China warn against nuclear escalation.
However, "those who speak of peace must not mean submission," she added.
