NATO leaders issued the alliance’s strongest-ever language calling out China’s military support for Russia amid signs that Beijing is developing an attack drone for the conflict with Ukraine.
In a declaration issued Wednesday night during its 75th anniversary summit in Washington, NATO described China as a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
