Russia has turned to its allies for help in Ukraine.
Iran has supplied the Shahed drones that regularly pound Ukrainian cities, and has deployed military advisers as well. The United States and Ukraine say it has also sent ballistic missiles, something Teheran denies. North Korea, meanwhile, is sending vast amounts of artillery ammunition as well as missiles — crucial for Russia’s forces as they slowly advance in Ukraine. Kyiv says that in addition, North Korea has sent thousands of troops to fight in the war.
China insists it is not arming Russia, although Washington has said unambiguously that Beijing is aiding Vladimir Putin’s military. China is also buying Russian energy, and its exports of chips and other supplies are crucial to keeping Moscow’s war machine humming.
This week, Russian and Chinese officials met in Beijing and pledged to work closely together. The two have also held joint military drills in recent months.
