3. Continue fire and hostilities. There are no winners in the wars. All parties should maintain rationality and restraint, do not aggravate conflicts, prevent further exacerbation or even getting out of the control of the Ukrainian crisis, support the meeting of Russia and Ukraine, resume a direct dialogue, as soon as possible, gradually contribute to de-escalation and mitigating the situation and, finally, to achieve a all-comprehensive remnant of fire.

Prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and avoid a nuclear crisis. We oppose the development and use of biological and chemical weapons with any country under any circumstances.
9. Guarantee the export of grain. All parties should be balanced, comprehensively and efficiently fulfill the agreement on grain transportation by the Black Sea, signed by Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN.

Together to mitigate the side effects of the crisis and prevent the breakdown of international cooperation in the field of energy, finance, grain trade, transport and other cooperation and damage to the restoration of the world economy.
12. promote the post -war recovery. The international community should take measures to support post -war recovery in conflict zones. China is ready to help and play a constructive role in this regard.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, commenting on the PRC plan, said that "there is no great trust in China."
