  China's Russia connection to the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine has come to the fore. According to a report published in the New York Times, China was already aware of the Russian attack on Ukraine. At the same time, China told Russia in early February to wait for the February Beijing Olympics to end before attacking Ukraine.

The New York Times has published this intelligence report quoting US officials. In terms of intelligence, US officials consider this report to be reliable, but the layers of this report are still to be revealed. The Winter Olympics were held in Beijing from February 4 to February 20.

The talk made in the opening ceremony of the Olympics, it
has been told in the report that the request to postpone the war till the Winter Olympics was made during the opening ceremony. However, it has not been disclosed that Putin and Jinping had direct talks to avoid war.

Western intelligence officials were monitoring Russian military deployments near the Ukrainian border during the Olympics. Intelligence officials speculated that Putin may delay military action on Ukraine until the Olympics to avoid angering China.

Are China and Russia together
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited China on February 4 for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. After this both the countries issued a joint statement. In the same statement, China had also objected to the expansion of NATO. Russia has attacked Ukraine by making this NATO expansion an issue. That statement raised the concern of Western countries about the growing alliance between China and Russia.

China said- baseless allegations
, Chinese Embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu in Washington has termed this report as factual. Pengyu said – the purpose of the claims made in the report is to blame and defame China.
