A Ukrainian intelligence chief, Oleh Ivashchenko, has accused China of supplying crucial materials to Russian military production plants, asserting that this includes tools, chemicals, and components critical for defense. He noted that as of early 2025, a significant portion of electronic parts used in Russian drones is sourced from China. Despite China's diplomatic and economic support for Russia since the invasion of Ukraine, it has denied supplying any military aid. This accusation adds depth to the existing concerns regarding China's role in sustaining Russia's military capabilities amid sweeping sanctions imposed by Western countries.
As of early 2025, 80 percent of critical electronic components found in Russian drones originated in China, indicating significant support for military production.
We have confirmed data on 20 Russian factories, highlighting the scale and specific nature of the support that China may be providing to Russia.
