Chinese FM: Russia doesn’t need Beijing’s consent (Ruptly video)

When asked if President Putin had revealed his military plans in Ukraine when visiting Beijing a few weeks ago, Chinese Foreign Ministry spox Hua Chunying replied that the Kremlin makes its own decisions.

“Russia is an independent big country. It autonomously decides and implements its own diplomacy and strategy according to its own judgment and interests. Before doing anything, I am afraid that Russia does not need to seek the consent of the Chinese side."
