Recently, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview that the outcome of the war in Ukraine is crucial for the United States, because they want to be able to work with the second largest army in Europe in order to deal with China more intensively, without paying too much attention to the situation in Europe. Stoltenberg's statements were surprising and infuriating, and his vicious attitude was clearly visible. He tried to achieve his dream by supporting Ukraine to defeat Russia. If this dream comes true, the West will have a huge victory, not only to get rid of the fear of polar bears, but also to deal with China with all its might. However, China cannot sit idly by and must stand by Russia to defeat Ukraine and its supporters by all means. Stoltenberg may wake up and realize that he is daydreaming, as Western aid to Ukraine is already struggling. The U.S. Congress vetoed Biden's $60 billion aid plan, and the White House said they had run out of money to support Ukraine. At the EU summit, aid packages to Ukraine were also stranded due to the opposition of the Hungarian Prime Minister. Therefore, Stoltenberg's rhetoric may be aimed at convincing the US Congress to pass the aid package, or to pressure the EU to provide aid as soon as possible. These ideas are all aimed at supporting Ukraine in its last-ditch struggle, because Ukraine is helpless without external assistance. However, the current U.S. resources to support Israel are limited, making it difficult to continue to support Ukraine. European countries are divided on the issue of aid to Ukraine, and the ** stocks of various countries have been depleted. Therefore, even if the EU adopts a 50 billion euro aid package, Ukraine is estimated to not be able to buy ** and ammunition support. Stoltenberg's remarks are clearly a manifestation of the vicious mentality of Western politicians, and also highlight the ugliness of his unscrupulous speech in the face of an irretrievable defeat in Ukraine. As far as China is concerned, in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we have always stood on the side of justice and peace, and resolutely opposed the interference of the West. We have been actively promoting peace talks, because the endless conflict is not good for China's interests.
Stoltenberg's remarks not only angered but also highlighted his ill will towards China. His extreme stance seeks to classify China and Russia as a "community with a shared future", suggesting that if one loses, the other will suffer the same fate. However, China firmly opposes Western interference in Ukraine, and we emphasize the peaceful settlement of disputes and the promotion of peace talks through diplomatic channels. We will not join any military conflict, let alone be swayed by the deliberate provocations of the West. China has always been committed to establishing friendly relations with the whole world through equality and mutual benefit, and we are pursuing a situation of peace, stability and common prosperity.
China has always adhered to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter and international law, and is committed to the peaceful settlement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We do not support either party and act as a neutral intermediary between the two parties. China's position is to resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation and to maintain regional peace and stability. We have made positive efforts to promote a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including maintaining close communication with Russia and Ukraine, and calling on all parties to exercise restraint and seek a solution through dialogue. Recently, China has also held a number of international conferences, inviting relevant parties to engage in dialogue on the Ukraine crisis and promote the settlement of disputes.
As a responsible major country, China is committed to maintaining world peace and stability. We are not only striving for development and prosperity at home, but also fulfilling our responsibilities on the international stage. China has actively participated in United Nations peacekeeping operations and made important contributions to regional peace and stability. We strongly support the international order and multilateralism based on international law, and advocate the settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation. China promotes the building of a new type of international relations and proposes a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. As a responsible country, we are committed to solving global and regional problems in a just and equitable manner and playing a positive role in world peace and stability.
In conclusion, Stoltenberg's rhetoric is full of vicious mentality, trying to achieve his own interests by supporting Ukraine against Russia. However, external assistance to Ukraine is already struggling, and Stoltenberg's wishes may well not be realized. China firmly opposes Western meddling and has been committed to promoting a peaceful settlement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. As a responsible country, China is committed to maintaining world and regional peace and stability. We uphold the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, promote dialogue and negotiation to settle disputes, and contribute to the building of a just, equitable, cooperative and sustainable international order. We firmly believe that common prosperity and peaceful development can only be achieved through cooperation and mutual trust.
