China has rejected accusations that it is training Russian military personnel
On June 16, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that reports alleging that Russian troops are being trained to participate in the war against Ukraine are untrue. Beijing emphasized that such reports are intended to discredit the country.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian commented on a statement by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaia Kallas regarding Brussels’ possession of evidence that Chinese specialists are training Russian troops.
“These claims are completely unfounded; they are pure slander and an attempt to smear China,” Lin Jian said, according to Ukrinform.
