International Pressure Mounts to End Ukraine War and Russian Aggression

Germany's Foreign Minister has urged China to use its influence on Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine, stating that "no other country has more influence" on Moscow. China has until now failed to condemn the Russian invasion, declaring itself officially neutral to the conflict. Pressure is growing on Beijing to intervene and use its influence to end the war, but it is unclear whether European appeals for China to get involved are in any way persuasive.
