Beijing’s secret shipments may include equipment for Russia’s spring offensive, specifically uniforms or body armor.
China could provide Russia with non-lethal military aid, such as uniforms or even bulletproof vests. This was reported on Saturday, February 18, by NBC News, citing four US officials.
They mentioned that China has helped Russia before. In particular, the country supported Russian disinformation campaigns and promoted Russian narratives about the war against Ukraine. However, Beijing’s new aid to Moscow is more visible, as it is intended to be used by Russian forces in Ukraine.
US officials have refused to disclose any details about China’s aid to Russia. However, according to them, it could include equipment for Russia’s spring offensive, specifically uniforms or body armor.
Reporters note that the White House is also concerned that Beijing is considering sending lethal aid to Moscow.
“We have clearly expressed our concern about lethal aid. We have not seen them cross this line, but we do not think they have stopped discussing it,” the source emphasized.
The publication’s interlocutor noted that China is trying to act quietly. However, recent trends point to potentially more tangible support for the Russian army by the Chinese government.
It will be recalled that on Saturday, the US Secretary of State met with the Chinese Foreign Minister on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference and warned about the consequences of Russian aid.
