The White House believes that Russia and China have agreed on the positions and background of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The White House is concerned about the coherence of the positions of Russia and China and against the background of the Russian Ukrainian war.
Such coherence was demonstrated during the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, according to Washington.< /p>
“We have clearly expressed our concern about the depth of China's ties and alignment with Russia at a time when the Russian Federation is waging its war of aggression in Ukraine, a brutal war, an unprovoked war unleashed by the Kremlin. “, the White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre is quoted as saying by Ukrinform special corps.
The spokeswoman emphasized that the meeting between Putin and Xi “is an example of such coherence”.
China continues to justify Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Recently, the head of the Chinese parliament tried to justify Russia's actions as a “response to US provocations.” Beijing buys Russian oil and gas, helping Moscow finance the war, and has increased exports of microelectronics and aluminum used in cruise missiles since February.
Putin and Xi share common views on the world, where they see the decline of the West. China also challenges the global influence of the United States and emphasizes its readiness to deepen cooperation with Russia.
“In the face of global and historical changes, China is ready to cooperate with Russia to play a leading role in demonstrating the responsibility of major powers, as well as to consolidate stability and positive energy in a world in turmoil,” Xi told Putin.

During the six months of Russian aggression against Ukraine, expectations that Beijing would use its influence on Moscow and play a constructive role in ending the war were not fulfilled. China looks at the Russian-Ukrainian war exclusively through the prism of its own confrontation with the USA.
