China's Foreign Ministry accused the United States and its partners on Wednesday of "creating tension" regarding Ukraine by "playing up the threat of warfare" by spreading misinformation about Russia's plans.
"Such persistent hyping up and disinformation by some Western countries will create turbulence and uncertainty to the world full of challenges, and intensify distress and division," the ministry's spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated.
Earlier, Moscow announced it is pulling some of its troops from the Ukrainian border but NATO insisted there was no evidence such actions are being taken. Furthermore, the US has been claiming for the past few weeks that Russia could attack Ukraine "at any time" despite Moscow denying such plans.
