German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said China’s arms shipments to the Russian Federation would have “consequences” for China. He made the relevant statement in an interview with the TV channel. CNN.
According to the German politician, the West is asking the Chinese authorities not to “provide weapons to Russia”.
“I think there will be consequences,” he said in response to a question about the possibility of imposing sanctions on China if China supplies arms to the Russian Federation.
“We are now at the stage where we’ve made it clear that this shouldn’t happen,” Scholz said.
“And I am relatively optimistic that our request will be successful in this case. But we need to watch and be very, very careful,” he added.
Former Pentagon Press Secretary, Air Force Brigadier General Patrick Ryder declarationThe administration of the President of the United States believes that China’s hypothetical supply of weapons and ammunition to the Russian Armed Forces for use during a special military operation in Ukraine will significantly prolong the conflict.
