China: think again

China believes the US is making money by keeping the war in Ukraine going. Does the Russia-friendly country have a point?

- Two months into the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the impact on the outside world is increasingly worrying.

- The war - and the sanctions - have, for example. led to energy price increases of 44% in the eurozone.

- Inflation is rising. And ordinary people's lives are affected.

- Meanwhile, US arms and grain dealers are raking in huge profits.

NATO vs Russia

So said Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, at a press conference with Western journalists on Friday - the day after the US announced it would sharply increase aid to Ukraine.
And a little later in the press conference, the spokesman asked Europe's political leaders and peoples to think again:

- The EU should reflect on this conflict

- We have repeatedly pointed out that although on the surface the conflict is between Russia and Ukraine, in reality it is between the US-led NATO and Russia.

- The EU should think carefully about who benefits from this war, in which area it is currently transformed into a war zone - and who suffers most in this war," said Zhao
