According to US government circles, Russia is receiving support from China in expanding its defense apparatus. Beijing is the key factor in revitalizing the Russian military, which has otherwise suffered “significant setbacks” since the invasion of Ukraine began, a senior U.S. official told reporters on Friday. “Without the contribution of the People's Republic of China, Russia would have difficulty sustaining its war effort,” he said.
Moscow is currently undertaking “its most ambitious defense expansion since the Soviet era – and faster than we thought possible at the beginning of the conflict,” the US official said. According to the US, one of the most important measures to support Ukraine is to convince China to stop supporting Russia militarily.
