China will welcome the leader of Russian ally Belarus for a state visit this week as the US again warned Beijing against supplying Moscow with weapons for its war in Ukraine.
Alexander Lukashenko will visit Beijing from Tuesday to Thursday, according to China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Russia and Belarus have strong military ties, highlighted by Moscow launching parts of its attack on Ukraine a year ago from its smaller neighbor’s territory.
