Jean Asselborn commented on China's position on the conflict in Ukraine

The 10th package of sanctions against Russia is being actively discussed at a meeting of foreign affairs ministers in Brussels. China, which has been called "the main speculator in the war," was also mentioned there.

Such a characteristic was given by the foreign minister of Luxembourg, Jean Asselborn. In an interview with German journalists, he noted that China is not supplying weapons to Russia now. Otherwise, the EU would have to develop sanctions against China as well. "I hope it stays that way," the politician added.

According to European representatives, the purpose of sanctions is not to "bring the Russians to their knees," but to deprive Russia of the means to continue the war and push the politicians to the negotiating table.
