(Bloomberg) -- Russia has asked China for military equipment to support its invasion of Ukraine, a U.S. official said, sparking concern in the White House that Beijing may undermine efforts to help Ukrainian forces defend their country.
Mar 13, 2022, 10:27 AM – Updated on Mar 14, 2022, 3:36 AMAn aide to U.S. President Joe Biden warned Russia as air strikes shift further west toward Ukraine’s border with Poland, but said there’d been no change in the calculus around a no-fly zone.

Beijing usually takes the view that such actions by other countries are their own affairs as long as it does not impinge on its own interests. Providing Russia with weapons specifically to use against Ukraine would risk that veneer of neutrality, in a year when President Xi Jinping is eager for stability at home as he seeks an unprecedented third term.

Sadovyi called for a no-fly zone over Ukraine, a move U.S. policymakers have ruled out because it would put NATO forces in direct confrontation with Russia. His remarks were followed by a standing ovation among city leaders from across the U.S.The respective delegations have made some progress in talks to stop the war, according to Leonid Slutsky, a senior Russian lawmaker and one of his country’s negotiators, the Interfax news agency reported.
Sullivan spoke as Russia in the past few days has bombed targets increasingly close to Ukraine’s border with NATO member Poland, including a military training facility that had been used by NATO in the past. It is yet another attack on democratic institutions in #Ukraine and an attempt to establish illegitimate alternative government structures in a sovereign country.The Czech Republic asked the European Union for financial and material help as the country’s capacity for accepting Ukrainian refugees is at its limit, said Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
Following 2014 playbook, Russians now desperately try to organize a sham ‘referendum’ for a fake ‘people’s republic’ in Kherson. Given zero popular support, it will be fully staged. Severe sanctions against Russia must follow if they proceed. Kherson is & will always be Ukraine.About 100 people have been detained Sunday at anti-war protests in 17 cities around Russia, according monitoring group OVD-Info.
