“We publicly sounded the signal that the provision of weapons or any assistance from China to bypass Russia's unprecedented sanctions, export controls or other financial measures imposed against Moscow would be very costly,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to him, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Bali as part of the G20 summit, has already conveyed such a "signal" to the Chinese side.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the State Council of China, said that some countries are using the crisis in Ukraine to impose illegal unilateral sanctions against China and other countries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, as part of his speech at the BRICS summit, called on countries to fight against unilateral sanctions.
