The People's Republic of China again emphasized its official position on Russia's war against Ukraine, urging the parties to avoid further aggravation of the conflict. This was stated by a spokesman for China Embassy in Washington Liu Penyui, quoted by the US newspaper Newsweek . His words are given a head .
"China's position remains clear and consistent," the diplomat said, adding that Beijing adheres to the principle of restraint and stands for a peaceful solution to the crisis.
In particular, the Chinese side proposes to follow three key principles: to prevent the spread of hostilities, not to exacerbate conflict and not to heat up. Liu Penyui emphasized that Beijing will continue to interact with the international community to find political settlement.
The statement of China was heard against the backdrop of publication of details of the large -scale operation of the Security Service of Ukraine under the name "Web". According to the SBU, up to 34% of the strategic cargage carriers at Russia's basic airfields were affected by this operation.
Satellite images published by the Ukrainian Special Service confirm the destruction, in particular, the aircraft of the radar detection of the A-50 at the Ivanovo airfield. According to experts, the total cost of the destroyed Russian aviation can reach about $ 7 billion.
The operation of the Web took place under the personal leadership of the SBU Chairman Vasyl Malyuk. For the first time, modern drone management technology was used, which combines artificial intelligence and manual intervention of the operator. In case of loss of communication, some of the drones went offline and continued the mission according to the laid route.
Against the background of such events, Beijing's reaction looks like an attempt to warn the parties from further escalation. China has traditionally cautiously commented on the Russian-Ukrainian war, positioning itself as a mediator, although it has not yet condemned Moscow's actions directly.
However, according to international analysts, the statement of the Embassy spoke to the China's desire to maintain a balance between supporting stability and strategic partnership with Russia.
