EU intelligence confirms China trained Russian troops for Ukraine conflict
EU intelligence agencies have reportedly confirmed that China provided training to Russian military personnel for the Ukraine conflict. Ukraine seeks $20 billion in aid, while the US plans a military drawdown in Europe.
European Union intelligence agencies have reportedly confirmed that China provided training to Russian military personnel on its territory, with some later deploying to Ukraine. Beijing has consistently denied these allegations. Concurrently, Ukraine intends to request an additional $20 billion in military assistance from its partners at the upcoming Ramstein meeting. Meanwhile, the United States is reportedly planning a substantial reduction in its military assets in Europe, including a third of its fighter jets and warships. European officials acknowledge that this potential decrease in US presence could have implications for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Sources: Громадське, Радіо Свобода, Українська правда
