Ukraine calls on China to condemn Russia’s invasion

The call comes after US warns Beijing of ‘consequences’ if it materially supports Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Ukraine has urged China to join Western countries in condemning “Russian barbarism”, after the United States warned China of consequences if it provides material support to Moscow’s invasion of the country.

“China can be the global security system’s important element if it makes a right decision to support the civilized countries coalition and condemn Russian barbarism,” Mikhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidency, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

“It is a chance to sit at the table as equals,” he added.
