The Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, Wang Yi, said on Saturday (13) that Beijing does not participate in wars or plan them. The speech happens after the US request for allies to impose rates on Russian oil buyers.
“War cannot solve problems, and sanctions only complicate them,” he said Wang Do At a joint press conference with his Slovenian colleague in Slovenia’s capital, Liubliana, according to a statement by his ministry.
The Trump government measure aims to weaken Moscow and end the Russian war in Ukraine. Washington imposed fares on India for the purchase of Russian loads, but refrained from penalizing China, who considers Russia a strategic partner “for all conditions.”
Understand the war in Ukraine
Russia began the large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and currently has about one fifth from the territory of the neighboring country.
Still in 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin decreed the annexation of four Ukrainian regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizehzia.
The Russians slowly advance through the east and Moscow gives no signs of abandoning their main war goals. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, president of the United States, pressures for a peace agreement.
Ukraine has made increasingly bold attacks within Russia and says the operations aim to destroy essential infrastructure of the Russian army.
Putin’s government, in turn, intensified air strikes, including drones offensive. Two sides deny target civilians, but thousands died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainians.
Thousands of soldiers are also believed to have died on the front line, but neither side releases numbers of military lows.
The United States claim that 1.2 million people were injured or killed in the war.
