Russia’s ‘absolute solidarity’ with China – Kremlin
Moscow has said that a possible visit by Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan would be ‘purely provocative’
Russia regards the potential visit of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan as a “purely provocative” act and fully supports China in its dispute with Washington, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said during a press conference on Tuesday.
Peskov warned that while “we can’t say for sure” whether or not Pelosi will touch down on the island, her entire tour of the region and possible visit to Taipei “provokes a situation” and “leads to tension.”
“We see this, it is being recorded by all countries of the world. We stand in absolute solidarity with China here. Its sensitivity to this issue is understandable. It is justified. And instead of respecting this the US is choosing the path of confrontation. It doesn’t bode well,” the Kremlin spokesman said, adding that Washington’s decision is “only regrettable.”
