As noted, the engines were sent to Russia through the false companies under the guise of “industrial refrigeration installations” to bypass Western sanctions.
This report caused alarm in Brussels. Fifteen EU countries have addressed Beijing with the question of these deliveries, but China either denied its involvement or refused to answer.
“The report is accurate and shows that China enhances its role both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is fair to say that without the support of China, the war would now look completely different,” the diplomat said.
According to him, the EU knew about the supply of Chinese drones to Russia before the pressing in the press.
“After August, we will insist on sanctions,” the diplomat said.
He added that the EU should not underestimate its economic impact: “We want dialogue, but also actions.”
Earlier, China had repeatedly deny that it was supplying Russia’s weapons in Ukraine, insisting that it did not supply weapons to either of the parties and had an “impartial position” on the war.
At the same time, in the United States last year stated that Beijing actually stood on the Russian side in the war and directly helps Russian military car.
