Zelensky says China is supplying weapons to Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused China of supplying weapons to Russia.

"As of today, we have general information from the SBU intelligence service and reconnaissance about gunpowder and artillery," Zelensky told journalists in Kiev on Thursday, adding that he intends to provide more detailed information next week.

He also claimed that representatives of China are producing weapons on Russian territory.

Ukraine has been defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion with Western support for over three years.

China has consistently emphasized its neutrality in the conflict and its pursuit of a peaceful resolution.

Zelensky had previously accused Beijing of approving the recruitment of Chinese citizens for the Russian army in China.
