**Kyiv, Ukraine –** Ukraine has accused China of providing military support to Russia in its ongoing invasion, escalating tensions between the two countries. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry summoned China’s ambassador on Tuesday, presenting evidence that allegedly shows Chinese citizens fighting alongside Russian forces and Chinese companies assisting in the production of Russian military hardware.
