“We are concerned about China’s alignment with Russia,” said a spokesman for American diplomacy in reaction to this call between the two presidents during which Beijing assured Moscow of its support in terms of “sovereignty ” and “safety”.
“More than three months after the brutal invasion (of Ukraine, editor’s note) by Russia, China is still at Russia’s side. It continues to spread Russian propaganda throughout the world. It continues to protect Russia in international organizations, shirking its responsibilities as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and it still denies the existence of the atrocities perpetrated by Russia in Ukraine, suggesting instead that they were on stage,” said the official.
“Countries that choose Vladimir Putin’s side will inevitably place themselves on the wrong side of history. Now is the time for world leaders to speak out clearly against President Putin’s blatant aggression, and to stand with the Ukrainian people,” he said. he added, again warning China against any “military aid” to Russia or any “systematic support to evade sanctions” from the West.
