Fri Apr 18 18:50:54 UTC 2025: ## China Denies Supplying Lethal Weapons to Russia Amid Zelensky’s Accusations
**New Delhi, April 19, 2025** – China vehemently denied accusations by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that it is supplying lethal weapons to Russia in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The statement comes after Zelensky claimed to possess information confirming China’s arms supply to Moscow, without providing specifics.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian asserted that China has never provided lethal weapons to any party involved in the conflict and maintains strict control over dual-use items. While Zelensky offered to discuss the accusations in detail, he provided no further evidence.
This denial follows previous accusations by Zelensky, including claims of 155 Chinese nationals assisting Moscow’s invasion and the reported capture of two Chinese soldiers. China maintains its position of neutrality in the three-year-old war, despite Western criticism of its close ties to Russia. The Chinese government reiterated its commitment to peace talks and a cessation of hostilities.
