China’s Xi reaffirms support for Russia’s security concerns
According to Moscow Xi Jinping ‘noted the legitimacy of the actions’ taken by Russia to protect its national interests.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has reaffirmed his country’s support for Moscow on issues of sovereignty and security in a phone call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Chinese state media reported.
Xi told Putin on Wednesday that “all parties should responsibly push for a proper settlement of the Ukraine crisis,” according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
The Kremlin said in its account of the call that Putin “outlined his fundamental assessments of the situation in Ukraine”.
Xi “noted the legitimacy of the actions taken by Russia to protect the fundamental national interests in the face of challenges to its security created by external forces”, according to Moscow’s official readout.
China has not criticised Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and has not referred to it in such terms, while accusing NATO and the West of provoking Moscow into attacking.
Weeks before Russia launched the assault on February 24, Putin and Xi met in Beijing and oversaw the signing of an agreement pledging that relations between the sides would have “no limits”.
