Russia has asked China for military equipment to support an invasion of Ukraine, and the White House writes that the White House is concerned that Beijing could undermine Western efforts to help Ukrainian forces defend its country.
U.S. officials said Financial Times Since the beginning of the invasion, Russia has demanded military equipment and other assistance from China. The Financial Times reported that sources declined to comment on the matter.
Another person familiar with the situation said that the United States was preparing to warn its allies that Beijing was preparing to help Russia.
Other US officials point out that Russia has run out of weapons, as Moscow’s planned lightning war in Ukraine is already in its third week.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the British financial statements.
US-China meeting in Rome on Monday
Under what circumstances do these expressions occur Jack SullivanThe White House National Security Adviser will travel to Rome on Monday, where he will hold talks Yang JiechiChinese official holding the highest office in China’s foreign policy.
Yang Jiechi spent most of his career in the United States, where he served as China’s ambassador from 2001 to 2005. He also served as China’s foreign minister from 2007 to 2013.
proof’s Financial Times I say that Sullivan will send a strong warning to China that any action that will help Russia continue its occupation of Ukraine or avoid Western sanctions.
In fact, before leaving Washington on Sunday, Jack Sullivan warned China not to try to save Russia, helping the US and its allies avoid sanctions imposed on Vladimir Putin and his regime in Moscow.
“We will make sure that neither China nor anyone else can compensate for Russia’s losses,” Sullivan told NBC. “As far as the specific mechanisms at our disposal are concerned, I will not disclose them, but we will report this to China in private negotiations, as we have already done, and we will continue to do so,” Sullivan said.
The call for equipment and other unspecified military assistance raises suspicions that Russia and China have strengthened their ties to oppose the United States, from NATO to sanctions.
China has projected itself as a neutral player in the Ukraine crisis and has refused to condemn Russia for invading the country. The United States sees no sign that Chinese President Xi Jinping is ready to put pressure on Vladimir Putin. The two leaders signed a joint statement in Beijing last month saying the Beijing-Moscow partnership was “unlimited”, another sign that the two capitals are close. Financial Times.
