China’s foreign ministry says Beijing and Moscow coordinated their positions on Ukraine during a meeting of the two countries’ foreign ministers on Thursday.

According to Reuters, the statement said that the Chinese and Russian foreign ministers coordinated their positions on issues of common ground, such as Ukraine, Afghanistan and the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
Lavrov and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday before attending the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
About two months ago, the American media, referring to the deployment of 100,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, began spying and reporting on the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, escalating tensions in Eastern Europe. Russia, however, has made proposals to reduce Western tensions with Ukraine in order to ensure Western security, including not extending the NATO military alliance to its borders and withdrawing NATO troops from the region.
