China has refused to supply Moscow with aircraft parts after the latter’s aviation sector was hit by crippling sanctions from the West amid the escalating war between Russia and Ukraine. Moscow is now expected to consider various alternatives for aircraft parts supply and may seek assistance from India, Turkey, and other countries, reported news agency ANI, citing Global Defense Corp.
This came after America– in a seven-hour long meeting with top Chinese official Yang Jiechi held on Monday – conveyed Washington’s “deep concerns about China’s alignment with Russia” and warned that should Beijing offer support to Moscow, there would be “significant consequences” for China.
Russia’s air transport agency Rosaviatsiya official Valery Kudinov was quoted by state-run Interfax: “We have tasked airlines with looking for a possible supplier of parts on their own. As far as I know, there is information that a request has been made to China, but China has refused to do it.
