Posted on 2nd Mar 2023 by rohit kumar

The Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Defense Ministry, has bluntly said that there are strong indications that China is considering helping Russia in the war against Ukraine. Pentagon press secretary Brigadier General Pat Ryder said it could be catastrophic. Earlier, the Biden administration has also expressed apprehension about the supply of drones and modern weapons by China to Russia in the Ukraine war.

 

Brigadier General Pat Ryder said, our indications are clear that China is considering this. I don't have any additional information or any intelligence on this, except for the fact that they haven't abandoned the idea of helping Russia. I want to make it clear that this would be a very wrong decision. This is something that the Pentagon is keeping a close eye on.

US Senator Chuck Schumer said the fighting in Ukraine will have an impact on India as well. He said the US should cooperate and coordinate with other Pacific allies like Japan, and Australia. He said India should think of cooperative development.

 

Rider said, we should not forget that if China does this, what will be the consequences? It will unnecessarily escalate the conflict and result in more innocent lives as Russia continues its campaign against Ukrainian citizens.

 

"Ultimately, it is up to China to decide, but the question is whether China, as a country, wants to put itself in the ranks of those countries that want to destroy Ukraine as a nation and kill innocent people," he said. Want to know
