Recently, Russian customs seized 8 containers of the China-Europe train.
What was contained inside alarmed Moscow, it turned out to be a Ukrainian military uniform.
According to the Russian side, the goods were departed from China at that time, the destination was Poland, and the container was declared to be sportswear and work clothes, but the Russian customs officers scanned and found that the goods transported did not match the content of the report.
After the news came out, it set off an uproar in Russia for a while, and those Western ** who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement even began to hype up China's military assistance to Ukraine, taking the opportunity to sow discord between China and Russia.
After several days of investigation, the Russian side came to the conclusion that there were no problems and that it was normal business dealings
In fact, it is easy to understand that since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China has always been in the middle of the road, and since it can do business with Russia, it can naturally do business with Ukraine.
As the world's factory, many countries' military uniforms are produced by China, and the sale of military uniforms does not violate any international law.
In fact, Russia has also bought a lot of protective equipment such as body armor and helmets from China before.
Therefore, Russia should naturally not worry too much about buying military uniforms in Ukraine this time, and the Russian side must not let Chinese companies make money.
Secondly, judging from the current information, it is likely that a private company has received an order from Ukraine, which is a private business activity, not a national nature, and this batch of goods is not lethal **, just a simple military uniform, which is not enough to rise to the so-called height of military cooperation.
And you must know that this train is on the northern line of the China-Europe train, passing through Russia, the Russian side is to charge transit fees, if the more trains on this line, the stronger the importance of Russia in the transportation network, if at this time, Russia because of the military uniforms of the Ukrainian army, make things bigger, affect Russia's reputation, and then choose to take this route There may be fewer and fewer customers.
In fact, if there is no Red Sea crisis, this batch of goods will most likely not risk taking the Russian line, before, Russia pressed this matter for a few days, maybe to consider what to do about this matter, and finally it was officially announced, to say that the impact of this matter on Sino-Russian relations is actually very limited, because in the current international environment, Russia cannot take the initiative to undermine Sino-Russian relations, and will not seize the military uniforms of the Ukrainian army, on the one hand, based on its own considerations, on the other hand, Russia needs China more economically.
So naturally choose to handle it with care.
