“Regardless of who comes to power in the United States after the elections, difficulties in US-China relations are most likely to persist. This relationship will continue to face many challenges. In these conditions, ensuring the stability of foreign economic cooperation and supply chains, cooperation with countries with which there is a high level of strategic mutual trust, especially with neighboring countries, is a priority area of development for China,” Wang told Sputnik.

“If we take into account the potential of the two countries, I believe that there’s still room for further growth,” he noted.

"Is it surprising that, for the first time in decades, an assassination attempt in Europe was made on a politician who had a reasonable position on Russia? By the way, by no means pro-Russian. Just a pragmatist and a non-Russophobe," Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, posted on his Telegram channel.

Meanwhile, the actions of the shooter are "the quintessence of the new Europe — moronic, Russophobic, vassal-like, unbridled and completely headless. Ready to throw its citizens into the furnace of self-serving American policies," he added.

"When trying to cross the Tisa River and escape mobilization, it's not so much that people drown, but are killed when they realize that they have already swum across and can't be brought back. The Romanian side has begun to register a large number of people with gunshot wounds, but this is being silenced in coordination with Kiev and directly with Brussels and Washington," Rogov said.
