Wang recently engaged in discussions with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, during the G20 summit held in Johannesburg on Thursday.

Wang’s comments follow recent meetings between U.S. and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia earlier this week, which occurred without the participation of Ukraine. These discussions in Riyadh have sparked concerns that Washington and Moscow might reach a peace agreement that would favor Russia.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has consistently threatened to withdraw American support from Ukraine, has recently echoed sentiments from the Kremlin, labeling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator” and placing blame on Kyiv for the ongoing brutal invasion by Moscow.

China has emerged as one of Russia’s key allies throughout its military operations in Ukraine, with Western officials accusing Beijing of supplying resources and technology to enhance the Russian military efforts. However, China has consistently refuted these allegations, asserting its position of neutrality.

In a recent development, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed their commitment to strengthen their bilateral relations. This commitment builds upon a joint statement made by the two leaders just prior to the onset of the Ukraine invasion, which proclaimed that there are “no limits” to their cooperation.
