(Taipei, July 3, Reuters) A spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry stated today that in response to reports of China allegedly training Russian military personnel, Germany has requested an urgent meeting with the Chinese Ambassador to Germany.

Reuters previously reported that China secretly trained Russian military units last year with the personal approval of Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov.

A German Foreign Ministry source stated: "Any action that enables Russia to continue its war of aggression against Ukraine threatens our security."

Reuters was unable to contact the Chinese Embassy today, but the Chinese Embassy had previously called the allegations baseless. (Compiled by: Chen Cheng-chien) 1150703
