Russia attacks Ukraine – report

According to the newspaper, Lavrov was scheduled to land in Beijing on Thursday, but in the middle of the flight, his plane was delivered over Novosibirsk (Siberia) instead of China. He traveled 2,800 km and returned to Vnukovo Airport in Moscow.

And the British newspaper “Financial Times” wrote on Sunday, quoting anonymous US officials, that Russia turned to China for military equipmentAnd that would support its invasion of Ukraine. According to the FT, the White House is concerned that Beijing may undermine Western efforts to help Ukraine defend the country.

The authorities of the People’s Republic of China did not condemn Russian aggression against Ukraine, opposed calling it an invasion and declared their intention to maintain normal economic contacts with Russia. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said recently that the Sino-Russian friendship is “very solid” and the two countries have broad prospects for cooperation.
