UNITED NATIONS - China’s deputy UN Ambassador Dai Bing told the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday that one year into the Ukraine war “brutal facts offer an ample proof that sending weapons will not bring peace.”
“Adding fuel to the fire will only exacerbate tensions. Prolonging and expanding the conflict will only make ordinary people pay an even heftier price,” he said. “We stand ready to continue playing a constructive role in resolving the Ukraine crisis, and bring about peace at an early date.” Western powers have provided Ukraine with billions of dollars in weapons since Russia invaded. The United States and Nato have accused China of considering supplying arms to Russia and warned Beijing against such a move.
China has dismissed the accusations saying that the US was in no position to make demands of Beijing. Mr Dai was speaking at the United Nations a day after China’s top diplomat visited Moscow and pledged a deeper partnership with Russia. China and Russia announced a “no limits” partnership shortly before
