Finnish president: China can end Russia’s war in Ukraine with one phone call

Finnish President Alexander Stubb has said that Russia's reliance on China has gotten to the point where Beijing could end the war in Ukraine if it chose to.

He said this in an interview in Helsinki, Ukrinform reports, citing Japan Times.

"Russia is so dependent on China right now. One phone call from President Xi Jinping would sve this crisis," Stubb said.

In his inion, China only needs to show a desire to take real steps to end the war.

"If he [Xi] were to say, 'Time to start negotiating peace,' Russia would be forced to do that," Stubb said. "They would have no other choice."

Stubb's comments reflect the increasing frustration among Ukraine's allies over China's perceived support for Russia's war effort. They accuse Beijing of providing the Kremlin with technogies and parts for weapons and helping Moscow to get around international trade restrictions.
