According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered reporters' questions about the entry of Ukrainian troops into Russian territory.

Q: It is reported that the Ukrainian army recently invaded Kursk Oblast in Russia. The Russian side said that the Ukrainian army's attack has caused more than 60 civilian casualties. The Russian army has curbed the Ukrainian army's offensive and Kursk Oblast has declared a state of emergency. Ukrainian President Zelensky said in a speech that Russia brought the war to Ukrainian territory and should now feel the consequences of its actions. The US said that the US did not know the Ukrainian army's offensive plan in advance, and Ukraine's move was not an escalation, but a necessary move to win. The US allows Ukraine to use US-made weapons to fight back against attacks from the Russian border, and the Ukrainian army's action this time is in line with this situation. What is China's comment on this?

A: China has noted the relevant situation. China's position on the Ukrainian issue is consistent and clear. We call on all parties to abide by the "three principles" of cooling down the situation, namely, no spillover of the battlefield, no escalation of the war, and no adding fuel to the fire. China will continue to maintain communication with the international community and play a constructive role in promoting a political solution to the crisis.
