On Wrong Side Of History”: US Slams China For Backing Russia On Ukraine
The United States expressed its concern on Wednesday on the alignment of China with Russia, warning that any country with President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine will “be on the wrong side of history.”
China claims to be neutral, but his behavior explains that he is still investing in close relations with Russia,” said a spokesman for the US Department of State.
The statement came a few hours after President Xi Jinping convinced Putin’s support for Beijing for Moscow’s “sovereignty and security” during the call between the two leaders on Wednesday.
China has refused to condemn Moscow’s invasion to Ukraine and has been accused of providing diplomatic protection for Russia by detonating Western sanctions and weapons sales to Kyiv. The Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman said Washington “monitored Chinese activities carefully.”
More than three months into the invasion, “China is still standing by Russia. It is still echoing russian propaganda around the world. It is still shielding russia in international organizations … and it is still denying russia They were staged, “he said.
Nations that are in favor of Vladimir Putin will definitely find themselves on the wrong historical side … This is not a moment to deviate or hide or wait to see what happened next. It is clear what happened,” the statement concluded.
The conversation between XI and Putin on Wednesday was the second call reported since the Russian invasion to Ukraine began on February 24.
