Speaking at the UN in New York, Penny Wong called on China to help rein in Putin's 'weak and desperate' threats to Ukraine by using their 'no limits partnership' with Russia.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has called on China to use their"no limits partnership" with Russia to help put an end to the country's"immoral invasion" of Ukraine.

"The world does look to China as a great power and as a permanent member of the Security Council, to exercise influence that it has in relation to Russia to end an illegal and immoral war," she said.

"In this, the world looks to China, a great power, a Permanent Member of the Security Council, with a 'no limits partnership' with Russia." "That is why Russia’s illegal, immoral invasion of Ukraine cannot be normalised and it cannot be minimised. "Mr Putin’s weak and desperate nuclear threats underline the danger that nuclear weapons pose to us all, and the urgent need for progress on nuclear disarmament.""We are talking about partial mobilisation, that is, only citizens who are currently in the reserve will be subject to conscription, and above all, those who served in the armed forces and have a certain military specialty and relevant experience," he said.
