#China continued:

"Ukraine should serve as a gate of communication between East and West rather than a frontline of major power rivalry.

It is our consistent and unequivocal position that all countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity should be protected."

11th Emergency Special Session of #UNGA is under way. Some strong remarks from the PGA and Sec Gen. Guterres:

"War is not the answer. It is death, human suffering, senseless destruction, and an immense distraction from the real challenges facing humanity... We need peace now."

#China is closely following developments. Situation has evolved to a point which 🇨🇳 does not wish to see. The immediate priority is for all parties to exercise restraint, prevent further worsening while stepping up diplomatic efforts aiming for a political solution.

#Czech: "Let me make it crystal clear. Russia + its people are under no threat from Ukraine or NATO. We condemn in the strongest terms Mr Putin's threat of using nuclear weapons. Indeed, it is a very dangerous rhetoric and only further exacerbates the overall security situation."
