According to him, security in Europe, the Middle and Indo-Pacific East are closely linked. “This is not a competition for attention. The counteracting Russian aggression and terror in Europe directly contribute to the consolidation of security in the Middle East and in the Indo-Pacific region,” he says.

“We call on the United States and the international community to increase the pressure on both the Moscow regime and its military budget, as well as to all the others in the world who support Russia's military efforts and allow Putin to continue killing people in Ukraine. We have no time to wait!”

Huge number of drones launched over Ukraine

Russia launched 539 drones and 11 missiles, including 476 drones and two cruise missiles, on Thursday night. He mainly attacked Kiev, in one of the most massive attacks. At least 26 people were injured, including a ten -year -old girl, and during the day a deceased person was removed from the rubble.

According to the Ukrainian Agency UNN, nine rockets and 63 drones, however, hit the ground.

Previously, Poland announced that in the Russian attack last night was also affected the building of his consulate in Kiev.

China and War of Ukraine

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi would have confessed to the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, during the meeting they had this week in Brussels, that Beijing does not want Russia to lose in Ukraine, because, in this case, the US will turn all their attention to China Post.

During the discussion, which took place on July 2, Kaja Kallas asked Beijing to cease “any material support” for the Russia military complex and to support a complete armistice in Ukraine.

According to sources quoted by South China Morning Post, some EU managers who attended discussions were quite surprised by the sincerity of the Chinese Foreign Minister.

In the European Union, notes the quoted publication, many considered Wang Yi's comment as the position of Beijing towards the War taken by Russia in Ukraine, but this contradicts China's public statements.

China has previously stated that it is not a party to the conflict. During the conversation with Kallas, the Chinese minister also rejected the accusations that China would provide military and financial support to Russia.

An interpretation of Wang's statement could be that although China did not want war, its extension could be in favor of Beijing's strategic needs as long as the US remain involved in Ukraine, writes Meduza.io, with reference to South China Morning Post.
