Russia called China has right to hold military drills around Taiwan.
On Thursday, the Kremlin said China has the sovereign right to conduct extensive military exercises near Taiwan and accused the United States of feigning regional tensions.

When asked about China’s exercises, Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin, said, “This is China’s sovereign prerogative.”
Nancy Pelosi’s visit “provoked the tension in the area and surrounding Taiwan,” Peskov told reporters during a conference call. It was a pointless visit and a pointless provocation.
