Beijing slam US claims that Russia asked it for military aid as 'disinformation':
In response to Western media reports that Moscow requested military aid from Beijing to conduct its operation in Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has accused US officials of spreading disinformation with sinister intent.

“The United States has been spreading false information against China on the Ukraine issue recently, with sinister intentions,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Monday, answering a foreign reporter’s question on whether China will assist Russia with arms.

KREMLIN SPOKESMAN, DMITRY PESKOV:
“It’s not from Washington, it was written by the various newspapers. The newspapers write a lot nowadays. There is no need to perceive it as a source, there is nothing to comment on here.’’

“Russia has the substantive capability to continue the operation, and as we said, it is progressing according to plan and will be completed on time and in full.’’

Zhao Lijian:
Recently, the US has been maliciously spreading disinformation targeting China. China’s position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and clear. We have been playing a constructive part in promoting peace talks. The top priority at the moment is for all parties to exercise restraint, cool the situation down instead of adding fuel to the fire, and work for diplomatic settlement rather than further escalate the situation.
