Russia has asked China for military equipment to support its invasion of Ukraine, according to US officials, sparking concern in the White House that Beijing may undermine western efforts to help Ukrainian forces defend their country.
US officials told the Financial Times that Russia had requested military equipment and other assistance since the start of the invasion. They declined to give details about what Russia had requested.
Another person familiar with the situation said the US was preparing to warn its allies, amid some indications that China may be preparing to help Russia. Other US officials have said there were signs that Russia was running out of some kinds of weaponry as the war in Ukraine extends into its third week.

Because it didn’t say Russian officials say...
Was going to write the same!🤣
Translation:
Hi Xi
We're in desperate need of organs for our wounded military personnel. Can you chop up some Uyghurs for us? Thanks ever so much.

I didn’t know the Chinese made Vodka.
Deep voice, rising inflection: “VKS, well-trained on Chinese weapons?” Alien theorists say, “No.”
Every trillion Xi puts into rebuilding and modernizing the Russian forces will be matched by US borrowed trillions. The new arms race has started.
Amen Brother.
I do not believe this. This source is a bad one.
“I can see chinese tanks rolling and telling the Russians to give up. Russia belongs to china now.”
I was just thinking the same thing if Russia really ask China for help.
“China gets to real world test “
Well the tires did not pass the real world test in Ukraine.
We have people on this thread rooting for China. Unbelievable. LOl
>>time to stop importing from china.<<
Time for Americans to stop buying stuff made in China. It is OUR responsibility to save America. If Americans cut their consumption of Chinese made goods by even 50%, corporations would take the hint.
“US officials say...”
Stopped reading there.
Yes, Russia is not about to tip their hand that they are that pathetic.
China will help and then lie about it. Our Communist Gov. is so in bed with the Chicoms that there is no way they will impose sanctions against China.
You're waiting for official confirmation from the Politburo, comrade?
Both are equally trustworthy.
Weren’t those Russian Tires?
So... I guess that’s a reason to test and sell the stuff they worked on since then.
Germany did the same with the BF 109 in Spain, that plane became backbone of the German Luftwaffe’s fighter arm.
Germany developed the Jerry Can in that war too.
Russia and China are woefully deficient in real deployed military experience. They have to get into 4th generation warfare sometime if they want to one day break the US Military in the world sphere.
Our advantage is that we do war really well, to the point no one has had to fight major wars like the US Military. Its incredible to operate oceans away from US mainland.
Is that the best you can do?
I remember a time when conservatives had enough knowledge of comparative politics to know that the Politburo was replaced by the Duma after the USSR collapsed.
I don’t believe you’re really a conservative or a patriot of the true America in exile, just a pathetic pretender.
This could be interpreted as a desperation move by Russia.
If they had rolled right over Ukraine, would they be asking China for help?
