这篇报道揭示了中国和俄罗斯在美国和乌克兰问题上的立场趋向一致。王毅与俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫的会谈表明，两国都对美国的"反俄反华"立场表示担忧，认为解决乌克兰危机必须包括俄罗斯。这一举动凸显了中国和俄罗斯之间在国际事务中的紧密联系。 不久前，王毅与美国白宫国家安全顾问杰克·沙利文进行了"坦诚"和"建设性"的会谈，这也引起了关注。尽管两国没有承诺在军事支持方面相互保卫，但中国和俄罗斯之间的接近关系日益加强，以抵消美国在全球事务中的主导地位。这一点表明，两国正在积极应对外部压力。 此外，王毅和拉夫罗夫还讨论了乌克兰问题，一致认为在解决危机时必须考虑俄罗斯的利益和参与。乌克兰战争已经夺走了成千上万人的生命，使数百万人流离失所，城市成为废墟，问题依然无解。 这篇报道强调了中国和俄罗斯在国际事务中的紧密协作，并呼吁国际社会重视他们的共同立场。这也提醒了我们，全球政治格局正在发生变化，需要密切关注中国和俄罗斯之间的关系，以及它们与其他国家之间的互动。
Moscow's and Beijing's top diplomats noted "closeness" in their positions on Washington's "anti-Russian and anti-Chinese" stance and agreed any bid to resolve the Ukraine crisis must include Moscow, Russia's foreign ministry said early on Tuesday.
Wang Yi, Chinese leader Xi Jinping's point man for international dealings, is in Moscow for several days of security and foreign policy talks with Russian officials.
He arrived in Moscow directly from hours of talks in Malta with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan that the White House said on Sunday were "candid" and "constructive."
Russia's foreign ministry said in a Telegram statement after the Moscow talks that "the closeness of the positions of the parties regarding U.S. actions in the international arena, including those of an anti-Russian and anti-Chinese nature, was noted."
The ministry added that Wang briefed Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about "the content of negotiations" with Sullivan.
The U.S. and its allies have often said they are concerned about an increasing alignment between China and Russia, which firmed after Moscow sent thousands of troops to Ukraine in 2022, in what Washington and Kyiv say was an unprovoked act of aggression.
While not committing to defend each other's country with military support and with President Vladimir Putin leaning on Xi far more than China does on Russia, supplying Chinese demand for oil and gas, the two countries have said they drew closer to counterbalance the perceived U.S. domination of global affairs.
Wang's talks with Lavrov included preparations for Russia's participation in the third Belt and Road Forum in Beijing in October, the Russian ministry said, without confirming whether Putin will attend.
"The negotiations took place in the trusting and constructive manner inherent in the Russian-Chinese dialogue," the ministry said.
It added that Lavrov and Wang talked "in detail" about Ukraine, "noting the futility of attempts to resolve the crisis without taking into account the interests and especially without the participation of Russia."
The war in Ukraine has claimed the lives of thousands of people, displaced millions, turned cities into rubble and has no end in sight.
Wang will hold "strategic security" talks later on Tuesday with Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia's Security Council, Russia's Interfax reported, before holding trilateral talks with Mongolian officials.
