25 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Czech president, Petr Pavel, stated on Tuesday that the Russian invasion of Ukraine “benefits China” since it manages to get “concessions” from Russia when it comes to favoring cooperation between the parties.
In this sense, he has warned that the armed conflict “harms the West” and has expressed that he does not believe that “China is really interested in ending the war soon”, precisely because of these benefits.
This was stated during an interview with the Politico news portal in which he asserted that China “is only trying to achieve its own goals as the situation in Ukraine progresses.”
“He seeks to get the maximum experience every day,” Pavel pointed out, who indicated that, as a result of the conflict, Beijing receives “cheap oil and gas, in addition to other resources.” “This is a friendship without borders,” he said.
In addition, he has stated that China is also “benefiting from the fact that the financial and military assistance offered to Ukraine weakens the international community.” “China is continuously following what Russia does and how the West reacts,” she has concluded.
