China rejects the EU demand for Russia's defeat in the Ukraine War

The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced the top official of the European Union, Kaja Kallas, that Beijing could not accept a defeat in Russia in the war against Ukraine. This could enable the United States to pay their full attention to China, according to an official rapporteur about the talks. This statement contradicts Beijing's public neutrality.

Details of the meeting in Brussels

The statement fell during a four -hour meeting with Kallas on Wednesday in Brussels, which, according to the informed official, contained "hard but respectful words". A large number of topics were discussed, including cyber security, rare earths, trade -like weights, Taiwan and the Middle East.

Beijing and the Ukraine conflict

The private comments from Wang indicated that Beijing may prefer a continuing war in Ukraine to prevent the United States from focusing on rivalry with China. This corresponds to the concerns of critics who fear that China has much more in the Ukrainian conflict at the game than it claims.

public explanations of China

On Friday, Wang's statement was taken up by the spokeswoman Mao Ning during a regular Chinese Foreign Ministry. On request, she confirmed China's long-term position in the conflict: "China is not a party in the Ukraine question. Our attitude to the Ukraine conflict is objective and constant: negotiation, ceasefire and peace. A prolonged crisis in Ukraine serves nobody's interests."

China's role as a possible peace broker

China presented itself as a possible peace broker, but as CNN previously reported, the missions for Beijing are high - especially with regard to the loss of a significant partner in Russia. Before the large -scale attack on Russia on Ukraine, the Chinese state leader Xi Jinping had proclaimed a "partnership -based relationship without borders" with Moscow.

allegations of military support

China has repeatedly rejected growing accusations to provide military support to Russia. Ukraine has sanctioned several Chinese companies because they are said to have provided Russia components of drones and technologies for the production of rockets.

Current developments in Ukraine

After a comprehensive attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev On Friday, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha posted pictures that allegedly show fragments of a Geran 2-fighter drone launched by Russia. A picture revealed that the device was produced in China on June 20th.

The expansion of international conflicts

Sybiha added that the Chinese Consulate General in Odessa was easily damaged by Russian attacks. "There is no better symbol for how Putin continues to escalate his war and terror and incorporates others, including North Korean troops, Iranian weapons and some Chinese manufacturers. The security in Europe, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific is inextricably connected."

reports about Chinese fighters

This year there were also reports on Chinese citizens who fight on the part of Russia in Ukraine. Beijing rejected any participation and repeated earlier calls to Chinese citizens "to stay away from military actions from any party."
