Friday, 4 February 2022 (YJC)_ The Beijing government announced that the Russian Foreign Minister and his Chinese counterpart, during a meeting in Beijing, coordinated their positions on issues of common ground, such as Ukraine, Afghanistan and the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
China's foreign ministry says Beijing and Moscow coordinated their positions on Ukraine during a meeting of the two countries' foreign ministers on Thursday.
After Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Beijing, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Beijing understood and supported Moscow's position on the security guarantees requested from the United States and NATO. .
The Chinese and Russian foreign ministers agreed on positions on common regional issues, such as Ukraine, Afghanistan and the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the statement said, according to Reuters.
Lavrov and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday before attending the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
About two months ago, the American media, referring to the deployment of 100,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, began spying and reporting on the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, escalating tensions in Eastern Europe. Russia, however, has made proposals to reduce Western tensions with Ukraine in order to ensure Western security, including not extending the NATO military alliance to its borders and withdrawing NATO troops from the region.
The Pentagon says that at the behest of the US President, 3,000 US troops will be stationed in Eastern Europe to help Ukraine in the event of a Russian attack.
