The GUR made a statement about China's assistance to Russia

A representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, Andriy Yusov, has said that China does not provide Russia with military support. He voiced his opinion in an interview with Novosti.LIVE, answering a question about China's role in supporting Russia, particularly after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit.

There is no military support. Everything else is a matter of a complicated diplomatic process," Yusov emphasised.

Meanwhile, China is entering the international arena with impressive demonstrations of strength. The country held a military parade that surpassed all previous ones in terms of scale. Various weapons were demonstrated at the event, and along with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un appeared at the parade. China's nuclear triad was displayed for the first time at the parade: the aircraft-launched Jinglei-1 long-range missiles, the submarine-based Jiulan-3 intercontinental missiles, the Dongfeng-61 land-based intercontinental missiles and the new Dongfeng-31 land-based intercontinental missiles.

Meanwhile, in his address before the parade, the Chinese leader said that the international community must choose between "peace and war" and "dialogue and confrontation".

Earlier, the head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, accused China of helping Russia in its aggression against Ukraine.
