The US State Department expressed concern about the Union of China with Russia after a video conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of China Xi Jinping.
“Beijing claims to be neutral, but his behavior clearly shows that he still invests in close ties with Russia,” said the representative of the State Department, commenting on the day before the conversation of the leaders of China and the Russian Federation, writes CNN.
He recalled that the United States and Europe warned China, that Russia’s assistance in the war against Ukraine, as well as systematic assistance in bypassing sanctions, will have consequences for Beijing.
“We carefully monitor Beijing’s actions. Those who will go to the side of Moscow in this unfair war will inevitably find themselves on the wrong side of history. The world observes which countries defend the basic principles of freedom, self -determination and sovereignty, and which are standing or which are worth it or which are standing or Silently support Russia in its intentional and unprovided war, ”said the representative of the State Department.
