European Union intelligence services have reportedly confirmed that China provided training to Russian military personnel who subsequently participated in the conflict in Ukraine. High-ranking EU officials, speaking anonymously, indicated that European services uncovered evidence of this training occurring on Chinese territory. Beijing has consistently denied such allegations. This development comes as Ukraine continues to seek substantial military aid from allies, with a $20 billion request anticipated at the upcoming Ramstein meeting. Separately, the United States plans to reduce its military assets in Europe, a move European officials acknowledge could impact the ongoing conflict.
