MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said on Thursday that Russia's military-industrial complex was stronger now than before the onset of the conflict in Ukraine.

On Wednesday, the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) said in a fresh report that despite the West's extensive efforts to curb Russia's military-industrial capacity, they had failed to have any "material impact" so far.
