Russia Asks China For Help In Ukraine Invasion: US Intel – By Danielle Ong (IB Times) / March 14, 2022
- It is unclear how China reacted to Moscow’s request
- The Chinese government has neither condemned nor condoned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
- A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in the U.S. said China will continue to provide humanitarian assistance in Ukraine
Russia asked China for military equipment and economic aid in the weeks since Russian President Vladimir Putin first announced a full-scale invasion of Ukraine last month, U.S. officials said.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Washington Post that Russia also asked China to send it certain types of weapons. However, the officials refused to specify which kinds. They also declined to say how China reacted to Kremlin’s requests.
Should China decide to assist Russia in its invasion, it could be the force Moscow needs to upend the hold Ukrainian forces have in the country.
