China denounces U.S. claim of support for Russia on Ukraine issues

China on Monday hit back a U.S. report that claimed there is evidence that some of China's state-owned firms may be helping Russia in Ukraine, stressing Washington itself is the culprit and the leading instigator of the Ukraine crisis.

At a regular press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning pointed out the U.S. is continuously sending heavy weapons and offensive weapons to Ukraine and constantly increasing the length and intensity of the conflicts.
