Beijing continues to support Russian narratives without recognizing the Russian Federation as an aggressor.
President Volodymyr Zelensky became the initiator of bilateral negotiations with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, however, the Chinese Foreign Ministry is evading its answer. This was reported by people.cn.
The spokeswoman for China's foreign policy department, Hua Chunying, during a conversation with journalists, was asked to explain whether the PRC has plans for future contacts between the presidents. She answered as follows: “China maintains close ties with Ukraine and other parties to the Ukrainian crisis”.
China always uses this definition when commenting on the war against Ukraine. They also do not call Russia an aggressor country. Instead, Beijing supports Moscow's propaganda, the main thesis of which is that Western countries and NATO threaten the security of the Russian Federation.
