“We have not seen any evidence that China is supplying Russia with lethal weapons, but we have seen some signals that this was a request from Russia and that this issue is being addressed in Beijing by the Chinese authorities,” Jens said. Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels without giving more details.

“China should not provide lethal aid to Russia, this would mean supporting an illegal war,” the NATO Secretary General added.
