China Urges Ukraine to Remove Its Firms from War Sponsor List

This demand was conveyed by China's ambassador in Kyiv to Ukrainian officials, emphasizing China's strong opposition to the inclusion of its enterprises on the list. The Ukrainian list, which comprises 48 global companies, including 14 Chinese ones, identifies entities that allegedly support or facilitate Russia's military actions. Among those listed are major Chinese corporations such as Alibaba Group Holding Limited and Xiaomi Corporation. Despite not specifying the consequences, China's move highlights the delicate balance Ukraine must maintain in its international relationships, especially with China being a significant trade partner and a key consumer of Ukrainian agricultural products and resources.
