NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance has seen signs that China was considering supplying arms to Russia and warned Beijing against taking any further steps
warned China of consequences"We haven't seen any supplies of lethal aid from China to Russia, but we have seen signs that they are considering and may be planning for that," Stoltenberg told Reuters in an interview.
"That's the reason why the United States and other allies have been very clear, warning against that. And China should of course not support Russia's illegal war," he added. There was no immediate comment from China, but its Foreign Ministry said earlier on Thursday any potential intelligence on arms transfer by China to Russia that the United States plans to release was just speculation.
Russia and China signed a "no limits" partnership last February shortly before Russian forces invaded Ukraine, and their economic links have boomed as Moscow's connections with the West have shrivelled.
