Western envoys grab rare chance in China to berate Russia over Ukraine war

4/7/2022 19:21

        Western envoys in China criticised Russia on Monday for its invasion of Ukraine, with the U.S. ambassador saying China should not spread Russian
        "propaganda", during an unusual public forum in a country that has declined to condemn Moscow's attack.
        
        Speaking at the World Peace Forum, organised by Tsinghua University, U.S. ambassador Nicholas Burns called the Russian war against Ukraine "the greatest threat to global world order".
        
        Burns said he hoped China's foreign ministry spokespeople would stop repeating "Russian propaganda" blaming NATO for the war.
