Chinese companies are part of a global network of suppliers that keeps the Russian war machine running, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday, as he called on NATO allies to cut off dealings with entities aiding Russia.

“Make sure your countries and your companies are not helping Russia or its buddies in any way. This is crucial, really,” he said.
