China Says It Supports National Stability in Russia After Wagner ‘Incident’

What’s new: China expressed support for Russia in maintaining national stability, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Sunday, one day after Moscow defused a rebellion attempt by the country’s private military company Wagner Group.

In response to a media query regarding this weekend’s turn of events in Russia, which the foreign ministry referred to as the “Wagner Group incident” in a statement published late Sunday, a ministry spokesperson said the matter is the country’s “internal affair.”
