NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg claimed China’s support for Moscow is a crucial factor in the Russian war against Ukraine. “China says it wants to maintain good relations with the West. At the same time, Beijing is fuelling the war in Europe. You can’t have it both ways,” says Stoltenberg.

There are no records indicating that China is supplying Russia with weapons or ammunition. However, since the war began and western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow, other exports from China to Russia have increased significantly.
