US says China’s support for Russia over Ukraine puts it on ‘wrong side of history’

WASHINGTON, 16 June 2022, (TON): Xi Jinping has assured Vladimir Putin of China’s support on Russian sovereignty and security prompting Washington to warn Beijing it risked ending up on the wrong side of history.

China has refused to condemn Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and has been accused of providing diplomatic cover for Russia by blasting western sanctions and arms sales to Kyiv.

China is willing to continue to offer mutual support [to Russia] on issues concerning core interests and major concerns such as sovereignty and security, state broadcaster CCTV reported Xi as saying during a call with Putin.

It was the second reported call between the two leaders since Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
