An “alliance of authoritarian powers” is working more closely together against Western democracies, the head of Nato has warned.

Jens Stoltenberg told the BBC that Russia, Iran, China and North Korea are increasingly aligned.

He also said he was confident allies of the Nato military alliance would agree a long-term funding deal for Ukraine by July.

The Nato chief explained: “China is propping up the Russian war economy, delivering key parts to the defence industry, and in return, Moscow is mortgaging its future to Beijing.”

Russia was providing technology to Iran and North Korea in return for ammunition and military equipment, he added.

    The vast majority of the article is just quotes from Jens Stoltenberg, though. It’s not an opinion piece.
