"In Xi Jinping's statement regarding the russian-Ukrainian war, one more point is worth paying attention to. Specifically, his words on European security. China sees another opportunity for itself behind the freezing of the russia-Ukraine war. As part of this opportunity, China seeks to become a co-shareholder in European security. In particular, as a guarantor that the russian-Ukrainian war remains frozen, as someone who will contain putin. Accordingly to come in this way, as a guarantor of Europe's security from russia", Sahakian explained.

The political scientist noted that China wants to expand its influence in Europe

"Xi Jinping's visit to Paris, Serbia and Hungary was devoted to exactly this. Economically and security-wise. With Hungary, this is an element of pressure on NATO and so now Budapest can play not only in the interests of Russia but also China. That is, if NATO expands its influence in the Indo-Pacific region, China will do the same, but in Europe. Thus China will block NATO initiatives from within", he added.

• On Monday, June 24, Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Beijing and said that China will seek a solution "to the Ukrainian crisis in its own way".
