"China says it wants to maintain good relations with the West. At the same time, Beijing is stoking war in Europe. You can't have it both ways," Stoltenberg told the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
There has been a significant increase in sales of machine parts, microelectronics and other technologies that Moscow is using against Ukraine to produce missiles, tanks and aircraft, he said.
There are no records indicating that China is supplying arms or ammunition to Russia. However, since the war began and Western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow, other exports from China to Russia have increased significantly.
According to Western experts, these exports include so-called "dual-use" goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.
Commenting on the situation on the ground in Ukraine, Stoltenberg told the newspaper, "Ukraine has suffered a setback on the battlefield due to lack of ammunition and weapons. But it is not too late for Ukraine to win."
Stoltenberg said NATO states should send more weapons and ammunition to Kiev, including air defense systems and long-range weapons.
