The Beijing ambassador to Kiev assured that “China will never attack Ukraine” and that it will help it financially

The Chinese regime, one of Russia's few allies, said it will “never attack Ukraine,” according to its chief diplomat inside the country, a press release from the Lviv regional government revealed.

“China will never attack Ukraine. We will help, especially financially. In this situation, which you have now, we will act responsibly,” Chinese ambassador to Ukraine Fan Xianrong told Maksym Kozytsky, head of the regional military administration in Lviv, during a meeting, according to CNN.

It is well known that Xi Jinping's regime has not condemned the attack by Russia, which it considers a key ally, and the United States recently warned the Asian country not to send weapons to the Kremlin.

“China is a friendly country of the Ukrainian people. As an ambassador, I can say responsibly that China will always be a force for good for Ukraine, both economically and politically,” added the Chinese diplomat.

Fan explained that the Chinese embassy moved to Lviv and that it will remain there for the time being, according to Kozytsky.

“The conflict between Russia and Ukraine does not benefit China. If China had known about the impending crisis, we would have done everything we could to prevent it,” Qin said.

The newspaper notes that according to a “Western intelligence report”, senior Xi Jinping officials had “some level of knowledge about Russian plans or intentions to go to war” before the start of the military aggression, which began on February 24, four days after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The information exchanged between members of the Chinese and Russian regimes was gathered by the intelligence services of a western country, according to the sources, and shared at a high level during discussions on whether or not the Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin, would attack Ukraine.

The Chinese head of state, Xi Jinping, and Putin closed ranks against the West at a meeting held on February 4 in the Chinese capital and pledged to face together what they considered “security threats” after meeting on the eve of the opening of the Winter Olympics in the capital Chinese
