During her visit to Beijing, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock warned China against the possible supply of combat drones to Russia. She emphasized that such support for Moscow's military efforts in Ukraine will lead to a new escalation of the conflict and will have serious consequences for bilateral relations.
We clearly stated that this would be a new escalation
According to Burbok, such a move will have serious consequences for relations. At the same time, she called on China to play a constructive role in ending the war.
A fair peace process is needed now more than ever
She noted that dialogue with China is important, even in spite of different views on the situation.
Burbok also expressed concern over the participation of North Korean soldiers in the war against Ukraine. In her view, this has drawn Southeast Asia into a conflict that is against China's interests.
These statements were made against the background of reports of an aggravation of the political situation in the region and the strengthening of Russia's influence due to the involvement of international allies in the war against Ukraine.
The Chinese and Russian militaries carried out the ninth joint strategic patrol in the airspace over the Sea of Japan.
