Ukraine and the United States are worried about possible Chinese military aid to Russia and possible Chinese aid to Moscow bypassing Western sanctions.
US President Joe Biden yesterday had a nearly two-hour teleconference with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the war in Ukraine.

The conversation between the two leaders did not result in a significant shift in the stance of the US and China.
Xi Jinping maintained an ambivalent stance, saying that armed conflict “is not in anyone’s interest” and stressing that “the Ukrainian crisis is not something we would like to see.”
