We haven't seen anything from Xi and Putin that would make us believe that the war in Ukraine will end soon - informed White House National Security Adviser Kirby.
According to a White House representative, if Xi wants to play a constructive role, he should call on Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine.
"We haven't seen anything from Xi and Putin that would make us believe that the war in Ukraine will end soon." Kirby added.
He noted that China did not condemn the invasion of the Russian Federation and continues to buy Russian oil and energy carriers. The leader of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping arrived to Moscow, although he never spoke with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, never visited Ukraine and did not inquire about the opinion of Ukrainians.
«he (Xi Jinping, editor) and his regime continue to repeat Russian propaganda that this is some kind of Western war against Russia, that this is some kind of existential threat. In my opinion, this is just a bunch of nonsense." Kirby said.
At the same time, Kirby noted that the US does not want a ceasefire in Ukraine right now, as it would give Putin time to compensate for lost resources.
"Ceasefires right now, freezing the lines where they are, basically gives [Putin] the time and space he needs to try to retool, retool the military to offset those resource drains." Kirby said.
At the same time, he does not consider the relationship between China and Russia to be a full-fledged union, noting that both countries simply "would like the world to play by their rules."
