Summary/Abstract: China has supported Russia during its aggression against Ukraine but is not satisfied with the results of the operation. It describes the invasion as a legitimate response to Russia’s security concerns related to NATO enlargement. China’s support for Russia, although sometimes ambiguous, results from the priority on strategic cooperation between the two countries aimed at undermining the interests of the United States and its partners, both in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific.
