The Russian Defense Ministry has yet to respond to Prigozhin’s remarks.

Prigozhin has previously criticized Russian military operations in Ukraine and the lack of support for Wagner fighters.

[ワシントン２９日ロイター] – Senior US officials said there was no reason for China to overreact to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s visit to the US this week and next week during her visit to Central America. He said it was consistent with the US’ One China policy.

He also said he urged the Chinese side to keep dialogue channels open.

President Tsai will stop in New York and Los Angeles during her visit to Guatemala and Belize in Central America. He is scheduled to arrive in New York on the 29th and return to Taiwan on April 7th.

It will be the president’s seventh visit to the United States since 2019 and his seventh since taking office in 2016. After a trip to Central America, he is expected to meet Speaker of the US House of Representatives McCarthy in Los Angeles. It was the first time that the speaker of the House of Representatives had met with a Taiwanese president in the United States, and this was provoked by China.

A high-ranking official said that President Tsai also held various activities during past visits to the United States, including meetings with lawmakers. “Therefore, there is absolutely no reason for the Chinese government to use this visit as an excuse to carry out aggressive and coercive activities against Taiwan,” he said.

Beijing has increased military, economic and diplomatic pressure on Taiwan, but said it would not pressure the United States to change its long-standing practice of facilitating travel through the United States.
