Measuring temperature in chamber: diplomat on China's special envoy's trip to number of countries

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

"It's measuring the temperature in the chamber and collecting information. China's special representative Li Hui will travel along the Ukraine-Poland-Germany-France route and meet with European structures, meaning these are the key players. It is clear that Ukraine is at war, Poland is the rear base, France and Germany are the locomotive of Europe. They are currently determining the policy of modern Europe after America entered the discussion and the Europeans took the initiative," Osypenko said.

According to the diplomat, it is important for the Chinese to understand how much Europe is ready to go further in its actions and intentions to support Ukraine.

"Because Europe's statements have become more decisive than the United States allowed itself to be. Macron has already said at the summit that a victory over Russia would ensure security and stability in Europe, and that frozen Russian assets could be used to buy weapons for Ukraine. That is, there was a completely different discussion," Osypenko emphasized.

• China called on all countries to maintain restraint through dialogue and consultations for the sake of security regarding threats of nuclear weapons.
