International Desk: The head of the US Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, claimed that China is considering sending lethal equipment to help Russia in the war in Ukraine.
He made such a claim on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program on Sunday (February 26) local time. News from Anadolu Agency
The CIA chief said, “We are certain that the Chinese leadership is considering providing lethal equipment to Russia.”
However, the final decision has been made in this regard about something that is not yet known, he said, adding that we have not yet received any evidence that China has sent consignments of lethal equipment to Russia. Any such move by China would be “highly risky” and “reckless.”
The CIA chief also mentioned that it is important for US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and President Joe Biden to clarify the consequences of any such action by China.
