Ukraine Russia Online: Slovakia has donated five military helicopters to Ukraine – SME

The Americans warned Beijing against further cooperation with Moscow. “China says it is neutral, but its behavior shows that it is still making efforts to maintain close relations with Russia,” the foreign ministry said. “This is not a time to wait for what will happen next. It is clear what is happening,” the US State Department said. Putin’s counterpart said Beijing would continue to support Moscow on “sovereignty and security” issues. China still refuses to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and is accused of providing diplomatic cover to Russia. Washington has said it “closely monitors China’s activity.” However, according to the USA, Beijing has already decided on key issues. The Wednesday call between Putin and Xi Jinping was the second official interview between the leaders since February 24, when Russian troops invaded Ukraine, writes AFP. (TASR)
