the People's Daily
, the Chinese government's official newspaper, which opened with the headline "Russia Reveals US Materials Executing Military Biological Plans in Ukraine."

, that Ukraine had become a colony of Washington and that

efforts leading to a peaceful resolution

"In order to prevent a humanitarian crisis, I call for containment and the
need for corridors to evacuate refugees
trapped under bombs. China has put on the table an initiative on the humanitarian situation to provide assistance to Ukraine," Li promised. on Friday.
Beijing has announced that it
will provide Ukraine with a batch of aid valued at 5 million yuan
(718,000 euros at the exchange rate), but remains
opposed to sanctions against Russia
for its invasion and promises to continue normal trade and economic cooperation with Moscow.
"Sanctions on Russia will damage the global economic recovery after the pandemic," the prime minister said.
