"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," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN's "State of the Union" program. CIA Director William Burns also weighed in regarding China in an interview aired on Sunday, saying the US intelligence agency was "confident that the Chinese leadership is considering the provision of lethal equipment".
Putin cast the Ukraine war, which he calls a "special military operation", as a confrontation with the West which threatens the survival of Russia and the Russian people.
