China has cautioned Ukraine about potential damage to bilateral relations following Kyiv s designation of over a dozen Chinese firms as "international sponsors of war." The warning was reportedly conveyed during a meeting between China s ambassador to Kyiv and senior Ukrainian officials. Ukraine has blacklisted 48 companies globally, including 14 from China, accusing them of indirectly supporting Russia s war efforts. While China has not openly criticized Russia s invasion of Ukraine, it emphasizes respecting the sovereignty of all nations.
