When asked to comment on that the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said the EU had verified reports alleging that the Chinese military had been training Russian military personnel to fight in Ukraine, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on Tuesday that the relative claims have no factual basis and are purely slander and defamation.
