China urges European countries to take European security into their own hands

During a telephone conversation, the heads of state acknowledged that all parties should contribute to peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv.

“The Chinese side itself has always called for reconciliation and negotiations and supported European countries to take the security situation in Europe into their own hands,” TASS quoted the Chinese side as saying.

In September last year, EU diplomat Josep Borrell said that the need for the EU to create its own defense system became apparent after the situation with the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
