The Chinese foreign ministry on Monday denied reports that Beijing could join a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine spearheaded by EU leaders.
“I would like to emphasize that the reports in question are completely untrue, and China’s position on the Ukraine crisis is consistent and clear,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun in response to a journalist’s question on the matter.
China claims to be a neutral party in Russia’s war on Ukraine, but maintains close economic and political ties with Moscow, including by supplying dual-use goods like body armor or drones.
