He said China had questioned the right of independent nations to choose their own path, adding that the alliance was concerned that China could provide “material support for the Russian invasion”.

“There is particular concern for NATO today that China has, for the first time, challenged some of the key principles of security, including the right of every European country to choose its own path,” he told reporters in Brussels. Jens Stoltenberg added that he expects NATO leaders “to call on China to condemn the invasion and to engage in diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful way to end the war as soon as possible.”
Stoltenberg demanded from Belarus to stop its “complicity in Putin’s invasion” and warned Minsk that the decisions to be taken at tomorrow’s summit would have “far-reaching consequences”.
