Afrasianet - China's permanent representative to the United Nations Zhang Jun stressed that NATO expansion cannot be ignored while discussing the situation on Ukraine. "Everything that happens has its reasons.
NATO expansion is an issue that cannot be ignored while finding a solution to the current tensions related to the Ukraine issue," the Chinese delegate said during a session of the UN Security Council on Thursday.
On Thursday, the UN Security Council held a session to discuss the implementation of the Minsk agreements to settle the conflict in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine, which has been going on since 2014.
This comes against the backdrop of Western accusations that Russia is preparing for an "attack" on Ukraine, which Moscow has repeatedly denied, and considered that the aim of the Western accusations is to justify the deployment of NATO's military infrastructure near Russia's borders.
