Washington - In the Ukraine conflict, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi jumps to the side of Russia.

In a phone call with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, he asked the West to show understanding for Russian President Vladimir Putin*.

Moscow has "reasonable security concerns" that need to be taken seriously and resolved.

Among other things, Putin is demanding that NATO rule out further eastward expansion and that under no circumstances should Ukraine be included in the alliance. Wang Yi agrees: "Regional stability cannot be enhanced by strengthening or even expanding military alliances." In the call with Blinken, the Chinese foreign minister called for people to "completely ditch the cold war mentality". A “balanced, effective and sustainable European security mechanism” must be negotiated.

Wang also accused the US of interfering in Chinese affairs.

Washington must "stop interfering with the Beijing Winter Olympics," Wang said.

The US has announced a diplomatic boycott of the games.

With regard to Taiwan, too, Washington must stop "playing with fire," Wang said.

A terrible incident happened yesterday in Ukraine: a soldier of the Ukrainian National Guard shot around in a factory.

Several people died as a result.

Ukraine conflict: Russia's invasion is feared

The armed conflict between the pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army in eastern Ukraine has been going on since 2014.

Because of a massive Russian troop deployment on the border with Ukraine, the West currently fears a possible Russian invasion of the neighboring country.

Russia denies any invasion plans but says it feels "threatened" by Ukraine and the West.
