UK Says China and Russia ‘Collaborating’ on Ukraine Combat Gear

UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps accused China of working to provide Russia with combat equipment in Ukraine.

Shapps made the remarks in a speech at a defense conference in London, in which he suggested that trade growth between the two neighbors had expanded into items with more obvious military applications. “Today, I can reveal that we have evidence that Russia and China are collaborating on combat equipment for use in Ukraine,” Shapps said on Wednesday, adding, “They’re covering each other’s back.”
