China has warned Ukraine about designating Chinese companies as "international sponsors of war," saying it could damage relations between the two countries, Reuters reported, citing unidentified sources familiar with the matter. Chinese officials last month communicated their displeasure to Kyiv, which has included 14 Chinese entities among a list of 48 companies it claims have aided Russia. Beijing, which maintains close ties with Moscow, has refrained from criticizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but has also called for the respect of territorial integrity. China was a major trading partner for Ukraine before the war.
