Any lethal aid from China to Russia would come at real costs: White House says again

The US has made clear behind closed doors that if China provides lethal aid to help Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, it would have serious consequences, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan says.

“Beijing will have to make its own decisions about how it proceeds, whether it provides military assistance, but if it goes down that road, it will come at real costs to China,” Sullivan said in an interview with CNN’s State of the Union programme.
