BRUSSELS - Nato worries China could support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the head of the Western military alliance said on Wednesday (March 23), adding the 30 member nations will discuss Beijing's role in the war Moscow is waging on its neighbour in Brussels on Thursday.
"China has provided Russia with political support, including by spreading blatant lies and misinformation," Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told a news conference.
Speaking on the eve of Nato summit in Brussels, Stoltenberg mentioned concern that China could provide "material support" for Russia.
"I expect Nato to call on China to live up to its responsibilities."
