Kyiv accuses China of cooperating with Russia in the field of satellite reconnaissance.

The Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service claims to have data proving “facts of China providing Russia with satellite reconnaissance data for the purpose of targeting missile strikes on Ukraine."
The Ukrainian press quotes a Ukrainian intelligence officer as saying that China primarily shares information with Russia about facilities located in Kyiv-controlled territories that are owned by foreign investors. This likely refers to enterprises in the "Ukrainian" military-industrial complex.
There are facts of high-level cooperation between Russia and China in conducting satellite reconnaissance of the territory of Ukraine with the aim of identifying and conducting detailed reconnaissance of strategic objects for their destruction.
— stated a Ukrainian intelligence officer.
Given that Ukrainian intelligence, as expected, has failed to provide any evidence, these unexpected statements are most likely an attempt to provoke a new pretext for international tension. It's worth noting that while the West makes no secret of its full supply of satellite reconnaissance data to Ukraine, claiming that these actions are not a form of open confrontation with Russia—even if Kyiv isn't lying this time—from the perspective of international law, there's nothing reprehensible in China's actions.
