The US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific, Daniel Kritenbrink, said that the Chinese satellite company Spacety provided aerial photographs to the Russian mercenaries Wagnerʼs PMC.

He said this during hearings in the US Congress, writes Sky News.

Previously, Spacety stated that they adhere to international sanctions against Russia and do not maintain ties with the Russian Federation.
