Satellite images have revealed that China is providing moorage for the Angara, a U.S.-sanctioned Russian cargo ship implicated in North Korean arms transfers to Russia. The ship, which has been involved in shipping thousands of containers believed to contain North Korean munitions to Russian ports since August 2023, has been anchored at a Chinese port for several months. This action is seen as further evidence of Beijing's support for Moscow's activities in Ukraine, despite China's official denials of such support.
