Summary

The EU suspects Russia is producing lethal drones in China’s Xinjiang province, raising concerns over Beijing’s support for Moscow under their “no-limits partnership.”

A Reuters investigation revealed that a Russian arms company, Almaz-Antey, developed and tested drones with Chinese specialists, and intelligence suggests a factory in China is assembling attack drones for potential use in Ukraine.

The EU has yet to confirm key details, and Beijing denies involvement.

If proven, this could escalate the war and trigger sanctions. EU ministers will discuss the issue in Brussels on Monday.
