Russia seeks military equipment from China after Ukraine invasion -reports

(Reuters) - Russia has asked China for military equipment since its Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, the Financial Times and Washington Post reported on Sunday, citing U.S. officials.

U.S. National Security advisor Jake Sullivan will be in Rome on Monday to meet with China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi, the White House said earlier.

Russia, which calls its action in Ukraine a "special operation," and China have tightened cooperation as they have come under strong Western pressure over human rights and a raft of other issues.

Beijing has not condemned Russia's attack and does not call it an invasion but has urged a negotiated solution.

no joining in on sanctions--China is all opportunism and self-interest, I get that. Now they are signing up to coat their hands in Ukraine's blood alongside the most despised despot on earth? For what purpose? Does China need to kill Nazis in Ukraine too? Did the Ukrainian military go over the border and attack Russians on Russian soil? Did Ukrainians attack the Chinese? They're really screwing themselves if they go along and throw in with Russia's sinking ship.
