Nato chief seeks costs on China over Russia support

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg called for consequences on China if it continues supporting Russia in the Ukraine conflict. He highlighted a sharp increase in defense spending by NATO allies since Russia’s invasion. Stoltenberg accused China of fueling the war through exports to rebuild Russia’s defense industry, and urged imposing a cost on Beijing unless it changes course. The upcoming NATO summit aims to send a message of long-term support for Ukraine.
