Aug. 3 (EIRNS) \u2013 Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated yesterday that Nancy Pelosi\u2019s visit to Taiwan was \u00abpurely provocative. We see this, it is being recorded by all countries of the world. We stand in absolute solidarity with China here. Its sensitivity to this issue is understandable. It is justified. And instead of respecting this the US is choosing the path of confrontation. It doesn\u2019t bode well,\u00bb the Kremlin spokesman said, adding that Washington\u2019s decision is \u00abonly regrettable.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked whether the Pelosi visit could lead to \u00abglobal war,\u00bb Peskov said her visit was a \u00abclear provocation,\u00bb but \u00abI would suggest not to throw around words as serious [as \u2018global war\u2019]. That said, \u00abunderestimating the level of tension sparked by this visit\u00bb is not advisable either, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, asked by journalists on Wednesday what was behind the Pelosi trip, stated: \u00abIt was the drive to prove to everyone their impunity and to act accordingly. \u2018I do whatever I want\u2019, something like that. I can hardly imagine any other reason to create a flashpoint out of thin air, despite knowing what it would mean for China.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
