China will not take risks and provide military and economic aid to Russia.

This opinion was expressed by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Volodymyr Ogryzko, to the "Espresso" TV channel.

Moreover, he added that

Beijing has also already been warned about the consequences in case of helping Putin

"China will definitely not go to the aid of the Russian Federation under any circumstances. Beijing will not risk its economic stability, on which the Xi Jinping regime rests. In addition, China has been warned. They have warned of the consequences for Beijing for any assistance to Russia. In particular, very serious negative consequences," Ogryzko explained.

He noted that Xi Jinping perfectly understands how Russia's assistance will turn out for China.
