Commenting on the situation with the possible visit of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that “Washington brings instability to the world.”

In turn, China’s foreign ministry said earlier that “Beijing has contacted Washington about Pelosi’s visit, and we hope the United States clearly understands the sensitivity of this matter.” The ministry spokesman also stressed that “the Chinese army will not sit idly by” if Pelosi visits Taiwan.

And Reuters reported today, citing an informed source, that “US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is expected to arrive in Taipei later on Tuesday as several Chinese warplanes flew near the Taiwan Strait dividing line.

“In addition to Chinese aircraft flying near the center line of the sensitive waterway on Tuesday morning, several Chinese warships have remained near the unofficial dividing line since Monday,” the source said. “This morning, Chinese warships and aircraft attacked the center line, which is a very unusual and provocative move,” he said.

The Taiwanese press indicated that “Pelosi will arrive at Songshan Airport in Taipei at approximately 10:30 pm local time today, and on Wednesday morning will visit the headquarters of the Taiwan Legislative Council, where he will meet with Taiwan’s leaders, including its President Tsai. Yngwen.
