Russia Ukraine War: We talked to China to stop sending arms to Russia, the big statement of the press secretary of the Pentagon

The Pentagon said it has communicated with China to stop sending weapons to Russia. We have communicated with China about the negative consequences of providing lethal support to Russia. Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder said that this would not only prolong Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine and would result in the death of thousands of innocent people in Ukraine and would certainly put them in camps in those countries.

However, he added that the Pentagon has no indication that China has provided lethal aid to Russia. , Ryder said no, it is not. You know, as we’ve always said, we will continue to have active discussions with Ukraine, with our partners about their most needed security assistance. As you know, we have provided a variety of capabilities including things like artillery, air defense, armor, ammunition and we will continue to do so.

He also said that the US has been in close contact with Ukraine since it pushed again for Western warplanes. I have nothing to announce today regarding any type of fighter aircraft. Ryder said that again, we’re going to be in very close contact with Ukraine and our allies and partners to look at their near-term and long-term security needs.
