Russia says West, unlike China, 'shoot themselves in the head' over Ukraine

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova speaks during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on June 15, 2022.LONDON - Russia said on Wednesday that the West had "shot itself in the head" by trying to limit energy imports from the oil and gas fields of Siberia due to the Ukraine conflict, in sharp contrast to China which has increased deliveries of energy.

"Energy supplies are steadily increasing: China knows what it wants and doesn't shoot itself in the foot. While to the west of Moscow, they shoot themselves in the head," Zakharova told reporters.She cast the European Union as plotting a "suicidal" course by trying to diversify away from Russian energy which has supplied Germany since the height of the Cold War.

President Vladimir Putin says relations with China are the best they have ever been and lauds a strategic partnership aimed at countering US influence.The United States and European powers blame Putin's decision to invade Ukraine as the reason relations with the West have sunk to the lowest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis - including the severest sanctions in modern history.

Ukraine says Russia has launched an imperial-style land grab and will never surrender its territory to Russia, which controls swathes of southern and eastern Ukraine.Chinese President Xi Jinping told Putin during a phone call on Wednesday that China and Russia were willing to continue to support each other on issues involving core interests and major concerns such as sovereignty and security, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported.

Putin is right! The West is committing a global suicide in getting involved in the Ukrainian war that was insidiously engineered, conflicts of interests oblige, for the sake of manipulation, corruption, and profits! Nobody really cared about Ukrainian victims and human loss!
