China is deeply concerned about the ongoing escalation of the "conflict" and the possibility of the situation getting out of control.
China is "deeply concerned" that the war in Ukraine is "spiraling out of control".
This was announced on Monday by Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, delivering a keynote speech at the opening of the Lanting security conference in Beijing, writes CNN.
"China is deeply worried about the continuous escalation of the conflict and possibility of the situation spiraling out of control. We urge relevant countries to immediately stop fueling the fire, blaming China, and hyping up the rhetoric 'today Ukraine, tomorrow Taiwan," the Chinese diplomat said.
It is noted that Qin Gang's statement was made against the background of the visit of China's top diplomat Wang Yi to Moscow this week.
On Monday, Wang said China is willing to work with other countries to achieve a ceasefire and lasting peace in Ukraine, according to state-run news agency Xinhua.
