Borrel explained to China why it is not allowed to supply weapons to Russia, but is allowed to supply to Ukraine

"By the way, he asked: "Why do you worry that I can give weapons to Russia if you give weapons to Ukraine?"", — quoted Wang And Josep Borrel.

He added that he had to explain the big difference in the threat posed by the conflict in Ukraine. Wang Yi assured that China does not intend to supply weapons to Russia.

Earlier on Tuesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed concerns about the supply of weapons to Russia from China. Prior to that, Josep Borrel also warned China against this step.

Earlier, the United States accused China of secretly supplying "non-lethal military assistance" to Russia. In particular, we can talk about the supply of military uniforms and body armor. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken did not rule out that China could start supplying weapons to Russia. The US has threatened the country with the loss of foreign investment if this happens.
