Beijing - China supports Russia's position on measures aimed at overcoming the Ukrainian crisis, says Gui Congyou, acting director-general of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Department of European-Central Asian Affairs.

“China treats the challenges and threats that Russia is facing on the issue of Ukraine with full understanding and supports Russia’s approach toward resolving this problem,” Gui said.

“We are not interested in the exacerbation of the military conflict in Ukraine and support its resolution by political means,” he added.

“My personal opinion is that some states and blocs are continuing to stick to Cold War era thinking and are playing geopolitical games in trying to infringe on Russia’s geopolitical interests. China is categorically against anyone causing damage to the security of other countries with the aim of protecting so-called absolute security,” he said.
