“Of course, we are counting on the support of China, since it is our closest neighbor, a strategic partner,” said Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Representative of Russia to the UN, in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, at a press conference in the United States, announced the possibility of forming an alliance between Russia and China. 

At the same time, he said that in these countries there is an “authoritarian regime”.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin absolutely disagrees with the words of the head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrell about authoritarian regimes in Russia and China.
