He noted that in this way the United States made a conscious attempt to escalate the situation in the Asia-Pacific region.

“The American adventure against Taiwan is not just a trip of an individual irresponsible politician, but part of a purposeful, conscious US strategy to destabilize and chaotic the situation in the region and the world, a blatant demonstration of disrespect for the sovereignty of other countries and for its international obligations,” Putin said.

The Russian president stressed that Moscow sees such actions by Washington as a carefully planned provocation.

Earlier, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui thanked Moscow for the support rendered after the visit of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
