NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg isn't impressed with China's recent calls for a political settlement to the Ukraine conflict because of what he said are signs that Beijing may be aligning itself with the Kremlin.
In a Foreign Ministry position paper released Friday — one year after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine — China called for an end to unilateral sanctions against Moscow and a resumption of peace talks. While Beijing seeks to position itself as a neutral party interested only in peace, it has come under pressure from other countries for reportedly considering sending lethal assistance to Moscow.
China has denied it will help arm weapons-strapped Russia, and Mr. Stoltenberg acknowledged no one has seen a delivery of firepower.
