For example, Vucic, the president of Serbia, is reported to have said "China’s peace plan is the only reasonable initiative towards Ukraine" (Note: I've never heard of "fact-news" before, and I've no idea if its legitimate, but the claim is plausible).

I wouldn't surprise me if some of the more recently elected leaders with a more populist bent in some northern/western european coutries have said similar, although I havn't found any.

It also depends what you mean by "praise". The UK government said:

The Foreign Secretary was reported at the beginning of April 2023 to have said that while the UK supports certain elements within China’s peace proposals, the Government would like to see China “make good” its statements and work towards demanding that Russia also respects the principles that it lays down.

In a conversation with the Atlantic Council on 9 May 2023, the Foreign Secretary said that the UK welcomed the “just and sustainable conclusion of this war”, regardless of where the impetus came from, and expressed hope that China’s intervention was meaningful and that they are committed to it.

However, this is probably mostly diplomat speak because they also said (as part of a G7 statement they co-authored):

We underline that a just peace cannot be realized without the complete and unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops and military equipment, and this must be included in any call for peace
