At a UN Security Council emergency briefing on Ukraine on Monday local time, China’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Sun Lei, firmly rejected the US representative’s repetition of old narratives and its dissemination of false allegations, CCTV reported on Tuesday. Sun noted that it has been the US—not China—that has long provided weapons to the battlefield since the outbreak of the crisis, urging the US side to stop shifting blame and passing the buck.
