China and Russia threaten NATO: Putin crony calls for the ‘disappearance’ of Ukraine and the alliance as Beijing warns the Western military group is ‘provoking confrontation’

• China and Russia have threatened NATO and Ukraine 
• China warned NATO that it was ‘provoking confrontation’ 
• Russia meanwhile called for the ‘disappearance’ of Ukraine 

China and Russia have both threatened NATO against ‘provoking confrontation’ over the bloc’s claims that Xi Jingping’s nation holds a key role in Moscow‘s invasion of Ukraine. 

NATO leaders said in a declaration at their summit in Washington on Wednesday that China had ‘become a decisive enabler of Russia’s war against Ukraine’, adding that Beijing‘s ‘so-called ‘no limits’ partnership’ and ‘large-scale support for Russia’s defence industrial base’ were of ‘profound concern’.

In response, a spokesperson for Beijing’s mission to the European Union said: ‘NATO should stop hyping up the so-called China threat and provoking confrontation and rivalry, and do more to contribute to world peace and stability.’
