Yes because giving some one the ability to defend their country, and supporting an invasion have the same moral implications

supporting an invasion

China: sends Russia ~~six helicopters (before the war),~~

  • some children's toys,
  • a box of consumer-grade hunting scopes, and
  • metal.

Seems a bit thin to be supporting an invasion

they sent metal metal. famously russia lacks any source of metals so they needed that for the war

Lol, if the tide of war is changed into Russia’s favor because of alibaba tier drones while Ukraine has western equipment entirely designed as weapons from the start, then the problem is a lot deeper than china supporting Russia’s invasion
