Finland’s Foreign Minister, Elina Valtonen, has suggested that her nation has become uncertain of China because of the regime’s reluctance to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has continued since February 2022.

She said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could play a role in resolving the war in Ukraine, given its influence over Russia and status as a member of the U.N. Security Council.
