China is warned about serious consequences for helping Russia - diplomat Ohryzko

He expressed this opinion on the air of the Espreso TV channel. 

"China will definitely not help Russia under any circumstances. Beijing will not risk its economic stability, on which the Xi Jinping regime is based. In addition, China has been warned. Warned about the consequences for Beijing in case of any assistance to Russia. In particular, about very serious negative consequences," Ohryzko explained.

The diplomat stressed that China has very strong economic ties with the West. 

"Xi Jinping is well aware that Russia's assistance will have a negative result for him. Because China's economy is very much tied to the West. The severance of economic ties with the West will mean a real and rapid collapse of everything that Beijing has today," he added.

• On December 21, 2022, Xi Jinping met with Russian Deputy Security Council Secretary Dmitry Medvedev and called for finding diplomatic ways to end Russia's war against Ukraine.
