华春莹:乌克兰问题演变到今天是各种因素共同作用的结果,其中与新明斯克协议迟迟未能得到有效执行密切相关。局势走到今天,我们依然希望各方保持克制,通过对话协商缓和事态,避免局势进一步升级。
Hua Chunying: The current situation in Ukraine is the result of various factors working together and has much to do with the long delay in the effective implementation of the Minsk-2 agreement. Even today, we still hope that relevant sides could exercise restraint, deescalate the situation through dialogue and consultation, and avoid further escalation.
