NATO and the European Union are urging Russia to withdraw troops from Ukraine: the media have learned about the new document

According to one of the diplomats, the document has a section dedicated to China.
Germany insisted that it was separated from a part written in Russian. "We live in an era of growth of strategic competition. China's persistent policy creates problems that we have to solve," the Beijing paragraph reads.
