German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock, who is on an official visit to Beijing, sharply criticized China for its support for Russia in the war against Ukraine. About this informs Reuters.
She accused China of supplying Russia with military equipment that contributes to the continuation of the war, as well as of creating a threat to peace in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.
“Instead of taking responsibility for peace and security around the world as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China opposes our main European interests with its economic and military aid to Russia.”Burbok noted.
During her visit to China, she intends to discuss the issue of Russian aggression against Ukraine, stressing that this issue cannot be ignored in relations with Beijing.
“Putin’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine is a direct threat to our peace. I will also speak in Beijing that we cannot simply ignore it in our relations with China.”, the minister emphasized.
She also emphasized the inextricable link between the security of Europe and Asia, emphasizing the global consequences of the war.
“If North Korea sends soldiers and weapons against Ukraine, and Russia supports Pyongyang’s nuclear program, it endangers peace both here and in the Indo-Pacific region.”, – summed up the head of the German Foreign Ministry.
