RUSSIA reportedly asked China for HELP after it invaded Ukraine last month - prompting fears for World War Three to mount.

Vladimir Putin's side is believed to have asked Chinese president Xi Jinping for both military equipment and support after its February 24 invasion.

Several U.S. officials have since said Beijing could undermine Western efforts to help Ukraine, the New York Times reports.

And U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who is due to meet with China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi on Monday, said Washington believed China knew Russia was planning to invade Ukraine before it did.

He also warned Beijing would "absolutely" face consequences if it offered Russia support.

Mr Sullivan told CNN: "We are communicating directly, privately to Beijing, that there will absolutely be consequences for large-scale sanctions evasion efforts or support to Russia to backfill them.

Where’s the proof this conversation even happened? I’m so sick of these made up stories. “Critics say...”. “An official close to the administration said...”. There needs to be tangible evidence before we believe anything the LSM reports.

This is why both Russia and China have not invaded Mongolia in some time. They see it as an important buffer zone between the two nations. The exact same thing we should have been doing with Ukraine, try and keep it neutral.

Russia probably wants Grad rocket resupply, to maintain their bombardment of civilians.

Any lethal weaponry to an aggressor committing war crimes, should make China a party to those crimes.
