China reacts to situation in Kursk region
This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Ukrinform reports.
“China has taken note of the relevant situation (in the Kursk region of Russia – ed.),” says the comment of the foreign policy department.
It emphasizes that China's position on the Ukrainian issue remains consistent and clear.
The Chinese side calls on all parties to abide by the "three principles" of cooling the situation, that is, “no spillover of the battlefield, no escalation of the war, and no fire on all sides," the commentary states.
The ministry added that China would maintain contacts with the international community and play a constructive role in promoting a political settlement of the "crisis".
At the same time, the comment from the Chinese Foreign Ministry does not specify the details of the situation in the Kursk region and neither does it mention the successful operation of Ukraine’s defense forces in the territory of the occupying state and the inability of the Russian forces to protect their land.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Kremlin decided to declare a "counter-terrorist operation" rather than martial law in Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions in order to downplay the scale of the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk region and prevent panic or other negative domestic reactions.
