The sanctions will affect several Chinese companies that have supported Russia in the war against Ukraine. THERussian troops were hit with long-range missiles, in response to the attack with the largest number of drones at once.
The proposal is not closed, but Brussels is soon preparing to announce sanctions against several Chinese companies that it accuses of helping Russia in the war against Ukraine. They would have delivered electronic components and aeronautical parts essential for the manufacture of missiles and drones to Moscow.
The European Union’s initiative has not yet been made public, but it already deserves strong opposition from Beijing.
“China firmly opposes unilateral sanctions that are not based on international law or authorization by the United Nations Security Council. As for Ukraine, we are committed to promoting peace talks. China has never supplied weapons to the warring parties and strictly controls the export of dual-use items, even drones for civilian use, and opposes the use of civilian drones for military purposes,” says Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Ministry of Business Chinese Foreigners.
Brussels’ sanctions against several Chinese companies are known during the largest drone attack carried out by Russia. There were almost 190 at once. Almost all were destroyed but some buildings and power plants were damaged.
Moscow is preparing to retaliate after Russia was hit twice with long-range missiles in the Kursk area, occupied by Ukraine.
The relationship between the Kremlin and the United Kingdom is at its lowest point in recent years. Russia decided to expel a British diplomat by first exposing him in front of the country’s media. At the same time, London presents itself as part of a coalition that intends to make Europe do what has not yet been done. Make weapons manufacturing a priority
“We all recognize that defense spending has to increase, has to increase in the face of global and growing threats. We are increasing spending on European defense. We are uniting our defense industries more closely,” says John Healy, British Defense Minister
“We will continue to provide greater support to the Ukrainian defense industry and help in its development, as this will increase the speed with which material is made available to the Ukrainian armed forces. And we will do so, as a first step, with revenues from exceptional profits. An important first step that will contribute precisely to this”, says Boris Pistorius, German Defense Minister.
Europe wants to be prepared if it has to face Moscow and deepen its support for Ukraine, not only because Donald Trump, when he comes to power, could turn aid to Kiev upside down, but also because Russia has made progress and in what way on the ground in recent months
