China in a surprising fiery statement: The real danger to the world is the United States!
The Chinese Embassy in Russia confirmed that the real threat to the world is the United States, calling for a review of the list of countries that America bombed after World War II.
And the diplomatic mission published on "Twitter" a list of countries bombed by the United States after World War II, saying: "Never forget who is the real threat to the world."
The publication included a list of 20 countries around the world. The embassy indicated that the United States interfered in their internal affairs or actually bombed them.
"Russia is a major country and acts independently based on its strategic decisions, and does not need China's approval before taking any steps," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said last Thursday.
She stressed that "China is closely following the developments in the situation in Ukraine," calling on all parties to "exercise restraint and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control."
Hua refused to describe the Russian military operation as an "invasion," noting that "the term is biased," and declined to answer questions about whether Beijing has been in contact with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced at dawn last Thursday the launch of a special military operation to protect Donbass in southeastern Ukraine.
Putin stressed that Russia will work to disarm Ukraine, prevent nationalism in Ukraine, and bring to justice the perpetrators of bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the Russian Federation.
For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that "the Russian army did not direct any missile, air or artillery strikes on Ukrainian cities," and that Russian forces struck military infrastructure, air defense facilities, military airports and Ukrainian aviation with high-precision weapons.
The ministry stressed that "civilians are not in danger," and that "Ukrainian border guards are not showing any resistance, and the Ukrainian air defense systems have been completely destroyed," according to "Russia Today".
