The Chinese envoy met with Galuzin during his second trip to Europe promoting a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, a tour that will also include Poland, Ukraine and Germany.
"A very engaged and thorough exchange of views took place on the topic of the Ukrainian crisis," the Russian foreign ministry said in the statement posted on its website.
"It was stated that any discussion of a ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/europe/article/2001438697/fighting-in-kyiv-as-russia-ukraine-signal-possibility-of-talks">political and diplomatic< settlement is impossible without the participation of Russia and taking into account its interests in the security sphere."
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, calling it a "special military operation" to "denazify" its neighbor.
