NATO Chief Accuses China of Arming Russia in Ukraine War
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stated on Wednesday that China is closely collaborating with Russia by supplying weapons for the conflict in Ukraine.
Rutte affirmed that NATO remains committed to supporting Ukraine while negotiations for a peaceful resolution are underway. He acknowledged that reaching a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is a complex undertaking that requires substantial effort.
The Secretary-General further elaborated that NATO is coordinating with the White House and other parties concerning a peace plan aimed at resolving the Ukrainian crisis.
