German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Sunday that China “declared” it will not provide Russia with weapons for its war in Ukraine despite US claims, signaling that the German leader received some sort of assurance from Beijing.
“We all agree that there should be no arms deliveries, and the Chinese government has declared that it will not deliver any either,” Scholz said at a press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, according to POLITICO. “We insist on this, and we are monitoring it.”
