Russia is also asking China for financial assistance.
Russia is running out of some types of weapons, so Russia has asked China to provide it with military equipment to maintain combat capability in the war against Ukraine.
This is reported by the Financial Times with reference to the information of American high-ranking Kosadites.
It is noted that American officials became aware that the Russian Federation had asked China for military equipment and other assistance, including financial. This information has caused concern among the White House administration, since Biden believes that Beijing could undermine the West's efforts to provide assistance to the Ukrainian army.
Another source familiar with the situation stressed that the US is preparing to warn allies of the situation amid some signs that China may be preparing aid to Russia to continue the war in Ukraine.
The White House reacted and warned China that any attempt to help Russia continue its invasion or help evade Western sanctions would have repercussions for Beijing. This was announced by Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to the President of the United States.
