China’s stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine puts it in an “awkward” position internationally and any weapons support to Russia would come with “real costs,” US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said.
“When China talks rhetorically about the war in Ukraine, they tie themselves into knots, because they know that going all-in with Russia in this war in Ukraine would alienate a substantial number of countries that they are working hard to maintain good relations with,” Sullivan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”Tensions between the world’s two top economies has been running high since Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China’s diplomat, Wang Yi, met in Germany on Feb. 18.
With Russia’s war on Ukraine entering its second year, Sullivan said Kyiv still has the strong support of a large international coalition, a fact not lost on China. China on Friday called for a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine, but the 12-point proposal gained little international support. Several of the measures outlined would, if carried out, favor Russia.
