Summary
Lin Jian said on June 16 that allegations the Chinese military trained Russian personnel for the Ukraine war are "purely slander and defamation."
The denial came after EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc had verified reports pointing to Chinese military training of Russian troops.
China framed the accusation as baseless at a regular Foreign Ministry briefing, directly challenging the EU's account and adding to tensions over Beijing's stance on the war in Ukraine.
