China opposes 'providing weapons' to Russia in the Ukraine crisis, says Defence Minister Wei Fenghe, noting that Beijing supports peace talks 'applying maximum pressure' as the conflict rolls into 109th day Follow our live coverage:👇
This photograph taken on June 11, 2022 shows rockets for the Ukrainian BM-21 Grad, a multiple rocket launcher, in a field near Izyum, south of Kharkiv, amid Russian attacks on Ukraine. China has never provided any material support to Russia in the Ukraine crisis, Defence Minister Wei Fenghe said at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore.
The Chinese defence minister made a point of saying China supported peace talks and opposed "providing weapons, applying maximum pressure". "What is the root cause of this crisis? Who is the mastermind behind this? Who loses the most? And who stands to gain the most? Who is promoting peace and who is adding fuel to the fire? I think we all know the answers to these questions," he said, without addressing them or stating China's position.
