China has sided with Russia on the Ukraine issue at the United Nations while telling the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Kyiv.

China’s ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, has said the U.S. should stop sending weapons to Ukraine to allow diplomatic efforts to work.

“Certain countries should immediately stop pouring oil on the fire and stop undermining the diplomatic efforts of the international community,” Zhang said while pointing at the U.S. at the U.N. Security Council review of the Ukraine issue on Monday in New York.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    China’s ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, has said the U.S. should stop sending weapons to Ukraine to allow diplomatic efforts to work.

    China hasn’t officially extended support to Russia’s war in Ukraine, but Beijing has provided financial assistance, allowing the Kremlin to build weapons and fund the conflict.

    "NATO must adhere to dialogue and consultation in resolving disputes and to the general direction of political settlement, instead of engaging in pressure, smearing and unilateral sanctions, and even less in the use of force.

    The Senate members voted 70-29, paving the way for the House of Representatives to review the $60.06 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, CNN reported on Tuesday.

    "Without Western military aid, the odds of Ukraine successfully resuming large-scale offensive operations to liberate its Russian-occupied territories in 2025 are at the outer end of the optimistic range.

    That in turn calls for a different long-term strategy for Ukraine and for its allies and partners," wrote Eugene Rumer, Director of the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, on February 7.
