CHINA URGES EU TO REVOKE SANCTIONS- Chinese companies linked to helping Russia’s war in Ukraine
China urged the European Union to lift sanctions on Chinese companies for what it believes is supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine.
China always opposes unilateral sanctions, and has made solemn representations to the EU side, spokesperson Mao Ning told a press conference.
European Union countries on Monday (June 24) adopted a 14th package of sanctions against Russia over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The package includes an array of measures and targets Russia’s gas sector for the first time. The bloc also added 69 entities and 47 individuals to its sanctions list, taking the total to over 2,200.
Among the new additions are companies in China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
