Decisions on war in Ukraine are made in Beijing, not in Moscow - historian Czech

He said this in an interview with Antin Borkovskyi, host of the Studio West program.

"The Americans are extremely persistent in saying that thanks to China, Russia has been waging this aggressive war for so long that without Chinese support in terms of equipment, finance, and some electronics and various devices for the military-industrial complex, Russia would not have had the resources to wage this war. And the Americans are very clear about this. Moreover, they are trying to persuade the Europeans to adopt this approach,"  Czech explained.

The historian is convinced that it is China that can end the war, because this is its Eastern games.

"There is an understanding now that the decision on the war in Ukraine and Russian aggression against Ukraine is not made in Moscow, but in Beijing, and the relevant references are addressed. And the messages are that Russia cannot win a war against Ukrainians for sure, and we will do everything to ensure that Ukraine wins this war. Very strongly. This is not a situation where Putin, greedy for petrodollars, thinks that Europe is weak, America is weak, we can challenge them - we have China behind us. So he has to describe everything to China in its hieroglyphics, not in understandable English. That is, these are different games - oriental games," the publicist concluded.
