Ukrainian Intelligence Says China Helping Russia Target Western-Funded Facilities In Ukraine
Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Agency official Oleh Alexandrov has told the state news agency Ukrinform that China has been directly assisting Russia with intelligence for use on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Specifically he said China is providing foreign intelligence to target those sites in Ukraine which benefit from foreign investment, meaning Western-backed and funded facilities, likely such as weapons production sites.
"There is evidence of a high level of cooperation between Russia and China in conducting satellite reconnaissance of the territory of Ukraine in order to identify and further explore strategic objects for targeting," said Alexandrov. "As we have seen in recent months, these sites may belong to foreign investors."
The Kremlin on Monday responded by rejecting the allegation, saying that it possesses all capabilities to not have to rely on any outside country or ally.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov when specifically asked about the new allegation from Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Agency said as follows:
But the last year of the war has seen Moscow deepen its cooperation both with the Chinese and North Korean militaries.
The presence of North Korean troops within Russian forces is well-known, but Kiev has more recently alleged Chinese troops are fighting alongside Moscow forces as well.
There's also reported to be training programs between Russian and Chinese militaries. For example, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence Directorate has told local media, the Kyiv Post, that "The Kremlin has decided to allow Chinese military personnel to study and adopt the combat experience Russia has gained in its war against Ukraine."
Also, Iran has factored into the equation given it has established a drone production facility within southern Russia.
Beijing has additionally in the past issued statements calling out NATO for its constant expansion, and activity which has even been lately introduced in the Pacific region, and growing ties to Japan.
