Top EU official invites China to mediate between Russia and Ukraine

China “must” intervene to mediate between Russia and Ukraine, given the inability of the United States and European allies to stop the fighting, according to a senior European Union official.

“There is no alternative,” European Union High Representative Josep Borrell, a former Spanish politician who now leads the bloc’s diplomatic corps, told El Mundo , a Spanish media outlet. “We cannot be the mediators. It’s obvious. … And it cannot be the U.S. It must be China. And I trust that.”
