Joe Biden questions whether China is sincere for investigating the source of Wuhan Pneumonia, saying that he and Xi know each other but are not “old friends”
USA President Joe Biden questions whether China is sincere for investigating the source of Wuhan Pneumonia (COVID-19). He shows that although he and President Xi know each other but they are not “old friends”.
Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia attended the press conference after the Summit. He was asked if he contacts Xi Jinping, the president of The People's Republic of China, demanding President Xi to allow WHO to send people to China to do the traceable investigations. Biden replies, “everyone should make clear that we know each other but we are not old friends, just for business”.
Biden shows his suspects for the sincerity of China to co-operate with WHO. “China works hard to shape that he is a responsible and very visionary country, and keeps on saying how they helps the world in anti-pandemic and vaccination. There’s something which doesn’t need to explain to the whole world, and the whole world will see what the result is naturally. The question is: Does China need to investigate till coming to the bottom?”

Ukrainian women vow to protect their soil the same way as men
The #RussianMilitary continued to push forward towards #Kyiv on the third day of the invasion. The #Ukrainian President #VolodymyrZelenskiy anticipated that they would be facing the toughest night ever.
Staying in Kyiv, the Ukrainian Congresswoman #KiraRudik posted a photo of her holding a rifle on #Twitter, saying that Ukrainian women ‘will protect our soil the same way as our men’.
She told CNN she would not leave Kyiv, for it is their city and their country.
The Ukrainian #government distributed weapons to citizens as a part of defending the Russian military.
The government also encouraged their people to prepare gasoline bombs.
CNN interviewed the ex-Ukrainian President #PetroPoroshenko, a current-militia, who accused Russian President #VladimirPutin ‘crazy’, and ‘entering Ukraine just for killing’.
He added that ‘Putin could never take over Ukraine’.

Can China be trusted? As the Russia-Ukraine war shows, #Beijing often says one thing and does another
//The war in Ukraine helps to explain this paradox. Less than two months before Russia’s invasion, Chinese President #XiJinping told Ukraine President #VolodymyrZelensky that he attached “high importance to developing the Chinese-Ukrainian strategic partnership.” But only weeks later, Xi and his Russian counterpart, #VladimirPutin, declared that their countries’ budding alliance had “no limits.”
...There is debate regarding the extent to which Xi and other Chinese officials had advance knowledge of the invasion. If they did, that makes them complicit in aggressive war and ongoing Russian war crimes in Ukraine. It would also mean that claims of ignorance by Chinese officials are not to be trusted.
And if they didn’t have knowledge of the invasion, the Russians didn’t trust them enough to give forewarning. Either way, there’s distrust of China.
...According to reports, Russia has requested that China provide it with weapons to bolster the assault on Ukraine. It is unclear whether China will fulfil that request. Chinese writing on bomb fragments in destroyed Ukrainian hospitals and schools – favourite targetsof the Russians – would not be good for China’s reputation.//

Putin: Countries who set up a #Ukraine no-fly zone will be considered at war
Russian President #VladimirPutin said on March 5 that any country intending to set a no-fly zone above #Ukraine will be deemed as participating in an armed conflict.
According to AFP, #Putin told staff of Russian airline company Aeroflot that he needed a "demilitarised" and "denazified" Ukraine as a neutral neighbouring country. He also considered that the western measures on #Russia were like a declaration of war, "but thank God it has not come to that," he said.
Ukraine have been asking the West to set up a #NoFlyZone over their airspace. Putin commented that Europe and the whole world would face "colossal and catastrophic consequences" if countries followed Ukraine's call.
