CHINA-RUSSIA: XINHUA RELEASES ITS INTERVIEW WITH UKRAINE'S FOREIGN MINISTER KULEBA AFTER A MONTH'S DELAY
|
The Xinhua News Agency published (May 1) a lengthy interview with Ukraine's Foreign
Minister Dmytro Kuleba that it conducted a month ago! In the interview, captioned 'Ukraine's
foreign minister: Russia's invasion of Ukraine undermines the Belt and Road Initiative', Kubela
makes his full case against Russia, declares the war is detrimental to China BRI and says
Ukraine would like to have China as one of the guarantors of its future security.
(Comment: It is interesting that the interview conducted by Xinhua a month earlier has been
released only now! The English version has not yet noticed to have been issued. The interview's
delayed publication points to serious discussions at the higher echelons of the CCP on China's
stance on Russia's war in Ukraine. It could even presage a change. Xinhua, incidentally,
conducted an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov around the same time, which
was published.)
