Responding to this statement, Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabrielius Landsbergis says that such statements should no longer raise doubts as to why Chinese mediation in the war between Russia and Ukraine is impossible.
“If anyone still doubts why the Baltic countries do not trust China’s ability to ‘mediate peace in Ukraine’, here is the Chinese ambassador arguing that Crimea is Russia and our (Baltic – ELTA) countries’ borders have no legal status”, – on his Twitter account the minister wrote on Saturday.
China has recently shown more and more signs of favoring Russia, which continues its war in Ukraine.
In response to the question of a journalist of the TV channel LCI whether Crimea is part of Ukraine, Lu Shaye said that it all depends on how we look at this issue.
After the journalist intervened and stated that Crimea is part of Ukraine under international law, the Chinese diplomat replied that the former Soviet republics have no status under international law because “there is no international treaty that materializes their sovereignty.”
