Title: Borrell: Europe Cannot Trust China Unless It Seeks a Political Solution to the Ukrainian Crisis

The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, indicated that "it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for Europe to trust China if it does not seek a political solution to the Ukrainian crisis." Borrell emphasized that "neutrality amidst the violation of international law cannot be adopted," urging "Chinese President Xi Jinping to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky," and calling on "Beijing to provide more humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian people." This statement was published on the European Union's website, intended for remarks Borrell was to make at a research institution in Beijing today, but he had to cancel his trip to China due to contracting COVID-19.
