For war with Ukraine: China has increased the supply of equipment to the Russian Federation - AR

China has sharply increased Russia's sales of machines, microelectronics and other technologies that Moscow uses for the production of missiles, tanks, aircraft and other weapons, and then uses in the war against Ukraine.

This conclusion was reconnaissance and US officials who wished to remain anonymous, AR reported. "Two high -ranking officials of Biden administration, who discussed sensitive conclusions on Friday on the conditions of anonymity, said in 2023 about 90% of Russian microelectronics came from China, which Russia used for the production of missiles, tanks and aircraft.
