NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg once again called on China to stop supporting Russia in its illegal military aggression against Ukraine, threatening consequences for Beijing.

"I call on China to stop supporting Russia’s illegal war. China cannot continue to fuel the largest military conflict in Europe without this impacting Beijing's interests and reputation," he said on Friday in Oslo at a joint press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre as part of a visit to Norway.

Stoltenberg stated that the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine demonstrates that "our security is multinational, it is global."

"Iran and North Korea are providing drones, ammunition and more. And China has become a decisive enabler of Russia's war against Ukraine. Through its no-limits partnership and support for Russia's defence industrial base," the NATO Secretary General said.
