EU leaders tell China 'not to interfere' with #Russia sanctions and expect Beijing to help end Russia’s war in Ukraine or ‘not to interfere with western (not international and not sanctioned by the UN) sanctions imposed on #Moscow.

The #EU countries suddenly, after two years, remembered to hold talks with #China and "expect" #China to remain on the side.

The #EU leaders, submitted to the #US, received no significant response or assurances from #Beijing.

Since when has the EU spoken positively about #China?

#EU leader Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing would suffer “major reputational damage to the European public and its business environment if it sided with Moscow over Ukraine or refrained from taking a clearer stance."

European Council President Charles Michel said, “China cannot ignore Russia’s violation of international law.”

Glad to hear the EU is waking up to the "international laws". Did the Eu respect the 2015 nuclear deal signed with #Iran & applied it according to international laws? +

Did the #EU respect international laws in #Palestine, #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Libyia, #Syria, and #Yemen to name but a few?
Did the EU ask the #US to lift all its unilateral sanctions that violate the international laws on #Venezuela, #Cuna and the rest of the world?

International laws should be applied to all countries w/o indiscrimination.
Is it possible for the #EU to stop the #US from violating international laws? Where was the EU when the US imposed sanctions on the ICC?

The #US would veto any proposal to the @UN to revise #Russia’s status for fear of a boomerang effect (and the list of US violations of UN resolutions or illegal invasions and coup d'etat is long).

International laws are not applicable to the West.

War in #Ukraine:
If you wonder why @Joebiden announced the suspension of Nord-Stream 2 👇👇
#US liquefied natural gas exports rise 16%, to a new record. Europe is the top importer taking 65% of US exports. About 12% went to Asia, and 3% to Latin America.
