Summary
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the organization cannot confirm or deny reports that Chinese forces trained Russian service members for the war in Ukraine.
About 200 Russian troops were allegedly trained in China late last year, according to Ukrinform, which cited documents and statements from three European intelligence services.
Dujarric said Ukraine needs fewer soldiers and less outside involvement, warning that any external interference risks escalating hostilities rather than moving the war toward an end.
The UN also pointed to President Donald Trump's weekend calls with both leaders as it reiterated support for de-escalation, sovereignty and a negotiated end to the conflict.
