China's UN Representative Refutes US Accusations on Military Support to Russia

During a briefing at the UN Security Council regarding the Ukraine conflict, Geng Shuang, who serves as China's deputy permanent representative, addressed the allegations made by the US about China's military assistance to Russia. He contended that if China had indeed supplied military resources to Russia, the ongoing status of the conflict would likely be very different. Geng criticized the US for promoting false narratives aimed at tarnishing China's reputation in discussions about the Ukraine crisis.

that China supports Russia militarily, provides it political cover, and that a lack of Chinese support is prolonging the war. He countered these points by highlighting China's clear stance on the sovereignty of nations and its commitment to the principles set forth in the UN Charter. Additionally, he noted that China has actively engaged in diplomatic efforts aimed at fostering dialogue and peace regarding the conflict.

He further explained that the US has used the war in Ukraine as a means to pursue its broader geopolitical goals, including an agenda to weaken Russia, create division among nations, and enhance its own influence in Europe. Geng accused the US of failing in these pursuits and suggested that rather than acknowledge its role in perpetuating the conflict, the US has resorted to blaming China as a diversion tactic.

Geng concluded his remarks by indicating that there is a growing dialogue between Russia and Ukraine about negotiations, stressing the importance of the international community, including the US, in supporting unity and collaborative efforts to encourage peace talks. He expressed the hope that these efforts would lead to a quick end to the conflict and help restore stability to Europe.
