Oh my. Chinese source citing a “Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary” who “told Russian media” a thing. Incompetent trolls might press your claim better.
> The Global Times (simplified Chinese: 环球时报; traditional Chinese: 環球時報; pinyin: Huánqiú Shíbào) is a daily tabloid newspaper under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party's flagship newspaper, the People's Daily, commenting on international issues from a nationalistic perspective.[1][2][3][4] The publication has been labelled as "China's Fox News" by some scholars and writers for its propagandistic slant and the monetization of nationalism.
When the Wikipedia entry for your source starts with that, you might want to check the credibility of it before treating it as gospel.
