Recall that the Asian security summit Shangri La Dialogue is held June 10-12 in Singapore. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was one of the central issues at the event.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke at the meeting in a virtual format, but the Ukrainian delegation is present at the summit, while the Russians were not.

China decided to take a neutral position on the Russian war against Ukraine. On April 30, Ukraine offered China to become one of the guarantors of the country's security.

On June 10, the US called on China not to provide Russia with material support. To this, the representative of the Ministry of Defense of China, Wu Qian, said that China did not do this.
