US warns China not to help Russia
The U.S. is warning China not to provide its weapons to Russia after reports that the country is considering it. Because of the news, Ukraine has asked for additional U.S. fighter jets to help fight Russian forces, but President Joe Biden is not ready to do that just yet. Nikolai Antonia has more on the new warnings coming from the White House.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is the latest Biden administration official to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. As we mark one year since the beginning of this full-scale invasion, the message I bring you from President Biden is simple. America will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. The Secretary announced the U.S. has begun delivery of an additional $10 billion in economic assistance for the war-torn country. Just as security assistance bolsters the front lines, I believe that this economic assistance is for declining the boat firm, thereby strengthening Ukraine's resistance.
But in addition to the economic support, President Zelensky wants the U.S. to provide his country with F-16 fighter jets, something the Biden administration is not prepared to do at this time. We need to put everything we have into there. I know the administration says as long as it takes, I think with the right weapons, it shouldn't take so long. Meanwhile, the U.S.
is warning China not to provide its weapons to Russia, something Beijing is said to be considering. We have been exceedingly clear that we want to see China be on the right side here, which is not support Mr. Putin in any way. China insists it wants a peaceful solution to the war and calls the U.S. hypocrites because of the billions in military assistance it has already provided to Ukraine.

President Biden has warned China he will issue economic sanctions against any country providing military assistance to Russia.
