Nuclear weapons must not be used over Ukraine, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Friday, offering Beijing's clearest response yet to Russia's invasion of the former Soviet state, amid mounting concerns that the war might go nuclear.

"The international community should ... jointly oppose the use or threats to use nuclear weapons, advocate that nuclear weapons must not be used and nuclear wars must not be fought, in order to prevent a nuclear crisis in Eurasia," Xi said.



China maintains a stated policy that it will not threaten non-nuclear states with those weapons. But Western governments remain concerned because of a lack of transparency over the Chinese nuclear programme.


China is not known to have given direct military support to Russia or recognised annexed Ukrainian regions as Russian territory.
