Since the start of the full-scale invasion, China has made a claim to Russia for the first time. This happened after a massive missile strike inflicted by the aggressor country on October 10.
The terrible missile strike inflicted by the enemy across the entire territory of Ukraine on October 10 stirred up even China. The country has not officially condemned the Kremlin's actions.
Massive missile strikes worried China
The country's position was voiced by a representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Mao Ning at the conference noted that the state paid attention to the explosions that thundered in Ukraine on October 10. So official China expressed hope that the escalation could be reduced.
All countries deserve respect for their sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said the spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
She also added that it is necessary to support all aspirations that will settle the situation peacefully. She expressed her hope for further negotiations.
The New York Times journalists made some remarks. They noted that China's statement is fundamentally different from the previous ones. Previously, the country reproached both Russia and Ukraine. This time she clearly noted who is the culprit of the war on the territory of our state.
There has not been any public criticism of Russia before
Note that China still called for a peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine. At that time, Beijing stressed that the state's position on the war unleashed by Russia was “consistent and understandable.” Moreover, public speeches always hinted that the country is on the side of our state.At the same time, during all this time there were no public reproaches towards the aggressor country.
China's behavior was also ambiguous regarding the possible exclusion of Russia from the UN. Then state representatives stood up for the aggressor country and noted that they had no right to deprive it of its “important role” in the organization.
The fact that China does not call the war in Ukraine a war has also remained unchanged.
strong> For this, representatives of the state use the word “conflict”. With its help, Beijing is trying not to spoil diplomatic relations with Moscow.
China condemned 84 cruise missiles fired
Recall that on October 10, one of the longest air alerts sounded in Ukraine. For 5 hours, the sirens did not subside, and with them rocket strikes.
In total, 84 rockets were recorded that attacked our state. Fortunately, 43 of them managed to shoot down the air defense forces while still in the air. The rest of the enemy shells hit critical and civilian infrastructure facilities in 20 settlements.
