Ukraine Invasion: ‘There Will Be Consequences If You Help Russia’ – United States Warns China

The United States of America has warned China that there will be consequences if they should provide support for Russia in the ongoing unrest in Ukraine.

A senior US officer told CNN that Russia has asked China for military assistance in Ukraine, including drones.

Jake Sullivan, White House National Security Adviser, stated that China providing Russia with support is a reason to be concerned.

“We also are watching closely to see the extent to which China actually does provide any form of support, material support or economic support, to Russia. It is a concern of ours.”

He said that the United States had sent a warning to China that they would not stand by and allow any country provide support to Russia for its losses from the economic sanctions.

Sullivan explained that China had been warned that there will be dire consequences if it offers “large-scale” efforts to give Russia a workaround to US sanctions.

“We will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to Russia from these economic sanctions from any country anywhere in the world.”

To address the situation, the security adviser said he would be meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi in Rome, Monday.
