China’s Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that “nobody wants to see a third world war” after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comments that the risk of nuclear war was a real danger.
In an interview broadcast on Russian television on Monday (25), Lavrov was asked about the risks of a third world war compared to the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. Lavrov said that nuclear deterrence is the “principled position ” from Russia, but the danger is “serious and cannot be underestimated.”
“I wouldn’t want these risks to be artificially inflated now,” Lavrov said, “but the danger is serious, it’s real, it can’t be underestimated.”
“No one wants to see a third world war break out,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters. Wang reiterated China’s hope that the parties “keep calm and exercise restraint” and “carry out peace as soon as possible and avoid inflicting a higher price on Europe and the world.”
“We should reflect on how the vortex of geopolitical conflicts has re-emerged in Europe, more than 30 years after the end of the Cold War,” Wang said.
