Von der Leyen: EU has no evidence that China is supplying weapons to Russia

This was announced by the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

“So far we have no evidence of this, but we need to monitor the situation every day,” TASS reports her words.

Speaking about the possibility of imposing sanctions against Beijing if it provides military assistance to Moscow, von der Leyen said that "this is a hypothetical question that can only be answered if it becomes a reality."

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin said that China does not supply weapons to Russia.

John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the US National Security Council, said that Washington would like to see China help Ukraine in terms of "self-defense."
