What to know

  • Ukrainian lawmakers are pressing Canada to use its diplomatic relationship with China to cut off Beijing's financial and material support for Russia's war effort.
  • China is characterized by G7 foreign ministers as a "decisive enabler" of Russia, providing petroleum, weapons parts, and financial services in circumvention of Western sanctions.
  • The delegation argues that Russian military capacity depends critically on Chinese support, and suggests reputational pressure from multiple countries could persuade Beijing to change course.
  • Canada has committed over $26 billion in military and civilian aid to Ukraine since 2022, but Ukrainian lawmakers see room for more forceful diplomatic action on China.

    Merezhko warns Russia's dependence on China is reshaping geopolitics

    Another Ukrainian MP stated that without Chinese financial support, Russia could not continue the war, and warned Putin's territorial ambitions extend beyond Ukraine to Moldova's Transnistria region. He framed the conflict as Russia fighting a coalition including Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and China.

    “Without Chinese support, without Chinese money, Russia would have to stop the war.”
    — Oleksandr Merezhko
