<p>China is reportedly planning to provide "kamikaze drones" to Russia for the Ukraine war, German magazine Der Spiegel reported on Thursday (February 24) without citing specific sources.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report mentioned that the Russian military is apparently negotiating mass production of drones as they engaged in talks with Chinese drone manufacturer Xi'an Bingo Intelligent Aviation Technology.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The negotiations will deepen the West's underlying concerns over the possibility of China supplying "lethal weapons" to Russia for the ongoing war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report also mentions that the tech firm has reportedly agreed to manufacture and test 100 ZT-180 prototype drones. It is believed that the company will deliver the drones to the Russian Defence Ministry by April.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Analysts and military experts have previously said that the ZT-180 is capable of carrying a 35- to 50-kg&nbsp;warhead.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report comes on the day when China said that it hopes to play a constructive role in resolving the issue between Ukraine and Russia. Beijing also came up with a 12-point foreign ministry paper for a comprehensive ceasefire and a gradual de-escalation between the warring nations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, a report today by VICE World News mentioned that the Chinese drone manufacturer has denied it has any commercial dealings with Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A contractor for Xi'an Bingo told the media outlet that the drone maker had no business relationships with Russia and also declined to comment any further. As quoted by VICE, the company said, "Bingo Intelligent has no commercial contact with Russia."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Western nations have provided military assistance to the war-ravaged Ukraine to help in its fight against Russia.
