Nikkei: G7 plan to put pressure on China because of its alleged assistance to Russia

It is also reported that the countries of the “Group of Seven” intend to condemn North Korea and Iran for allegedly “providing military assistance” to the Russian side. G7 states have repeatedly accused Beijing of transferring dual-use goods to Russia, which help it continue fighting. Because of this, a number of Chinese companies were sanctioned by the United States and the European Union (EU). The PRC denies all charges. Beijing said it does not provide assistance to any of the conflicting parties and closely monitors exports of dual-use goods. The West also accused Iran of supplying its drones to Russia. Both Moscow and Tehran rejected these claims. At the same time, the authorities of South Korea, the United States and Ukraine, citing satellite images and other intelligence, announced the transfer of military personnel from North Korea to Russia to participate in the special operation. The Russian authorities in response to this noted that the West has no evidence, and Pyongyang called the accusations “dirty maneuvers” aimed at concealing their own actions of the United States and its allies, as well as prolonging the conflict in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in turn, recalled Article 4 of the Treaty on Strategic Partnership between Russia and the DPRK, which involves the provision of military assistance to one of the parties in the event of an armed attack.
