Bloomberg reported what China provides for the Russian army

Economic ties between China and Russia in the defence sector are growing stronger. In particular, after the outbreak of the war, Beijing started sending more military goods to Moscow. Bloomberg writes about this.

According to the source of the publication, China provided Russia with satellite images for military purposes, as well as microelectronics and machines for tanks. In addition, optical instruments and fuel for missiles were sent to the north.

Bloomberg writes that China has been increasing such supplies to Russia and today trade between the two countries has reached a record $240 billion.

Russia's neighbour under sanctions has become a supplier of everything from clothes to cars and machinery. At the same time, Russia has increased exports of goods such as coal and oil to China," Blomberg points out.

China's support for an aggressor is a source of concern for the West. This week, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken briefed European allies on the extent and significance of China's support for Russia, and spoke of the need to take steps to reduce it.

According to the Financial Times, the US sent a message to China warning of "significant consequences" if Chinese companies continue to support Russia in its war against Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Beijing claims that it does not support Russia and that it is the West that is "fuelling the fire" of the conflict.
