The Washington Post claimed on Thursday that China had approved the supply of “lethal aid” to Russia, citing an alleged intercept of Russian communications mentioned in a classified Pentagon document. The document was allegedly found on a gaming forum and has not been previously mentioned in media reports. The US government has not officially confirmed the authenticity of any of the documents, but demanded the media not cover their content and launched an internal hunt for the leaker. Two anonymous government officials said the US had not seen evidence that China had transferred weapons or provided lethal assistance to Russia. Washington has repeatedly accused Beijing of planning to supply Moscow with weapons or ammunition.

China has responded by accusing the US of hypocrisy, as the West was “endlessly shipping weapons to the battlefield” in Ukraine. US media outlets have amplified some of the claims allegedly contained in them, without providing photos of the source.
