Beijing will never forget who bombed its embassy in Belgrade, its mission to the EU said China has dismissed calls from NATO for it not to support Russia in any way on Thursday, reminding the bloc it was its US-led forces which bombed its embassy in Belgrade during the 1999 attack on Yugoslavia.

The South American country turned to Moscow after talks with the US fell apart, a report says Brazil asked Russia for help in developing its first nuclear-powered submarine during President Jair Bolsonaro’s visit to Moscow last month, Folha de S.Paulo daily reported on Wednesday, citing a military source.

Canberra warned it will move ‘in lockstep’ with allies to punish Beijing over any military support it might give to Moscow Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said China would face consequences if it backs Russia’s attack on Ukraine, arguing such a move would be an “abomination” while hinting at new international sanctions for Beijing.
