Zelenskyy Accuses China of Supplying Arms to Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly accused China of supplying weapons and gunpowder to Russia, marking the first time Kyiv has directly alleged Beijing's military support for Moscow. Zelensky stated intelligence suggests Chinese representatives are also producing weapons on Russian territory and promised to share further details soon. China has repeatedly denied involvement in the Ukraine conflict, asserting its neutrality and role as a peace mediator, but has not yet responded to these latest allegations. The accusations come amid existing tensions, including reports of Chinese nationals fighting for Russia and Western intelligence indicating secret arms shipments from Chinese companies to Russia. NATO has also labeled China a 'decisive enabler' of Russia’s war effort, urging Beijing to halt military support. This development could signal a significant escalation in China's role in the ongoing conflict.
