The head of American diplomacy stated that "Chinese aid has allowed Russia to maintain its military-industrial base, support the war machine, and prolong the war against Ukraine." He emphasized, "This must end."

Stoltenberg, the NATO Secretary General, added that the Alliance is concerned about potential Russian aid to North Korea and support for its nuclear program and missile-building program.

He explained that within NATO, "discussions are ongoing" about possible sanctions against Beijing, considering, for example, economic restrictions.

US President Joe Biden stated during the G7 summit in Italy that although China does not supply Russia with weapons, it does provide technologies for their production.
