British weapons!
Try to research better, because Boris Johnson the English Prime Minister's immediate ancestors are UKRAINIAN.
He's not only already supplied arms, he's done a lot of heavy lifting to bring in effective sanctions, extend rights to remain in England to those displaced, etc. The US arms haven't arrived yet.
Like the Chinese, Boris recognises an opportunity when he sees it. In Boris' case it's political opportunity. His own ratings are low. He can lift his own profile domestically by taking a stand I favour of the Ukrainians.
In the case of the Chinese, they can buy a stake in the gas and petroleum company that British Petroleum is having to sell.
When you manage to make BP look bad, you can't get much worse...
Meanwhile note the application of Chinese principles Xi thrives on:
Crisis = Opportunity,
correct?
PS speaking of which I can see Boris J reverse position on Brexit in the not-too-distant future. Putin got Brexit over the line by social media influence and other dastardly deeds, and Boris has realised: a gift it was not.
