This raises more and more questions about the assurances Beijing gave to Kyiv in its 1994 governmental declaration in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the NPT, and in the 2013 friendship treaty between China and Ukraine fully ratified in 2015. /2

Kyiv and other East European capitals may have to reconsider their relationships to Beijing and Taipei in the way that Vilnius already has. There is war with millions of victims, after all. /3

As Beijing is increasingly supporting one side, other players - and above all Kyiv - will be repositioning themselves vis-à-vis Moscow’s ally and its interests too. /END
