Kremlin says China has right to conduct Taiwan exercises, France cannot mediate in Ukraine
MOSCOW, April 10 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday that China had every right to respond to what it called "provocations" and carry out military exercises around Taiwan.
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said it was hard to imagine France, whose president Emmanuel Macron visited China for talks last week, playing a mediation role in Ukraine because Paris had taken the side of one of the parties in the conflict.
