Pressure for the president on two big fronts, pressure to consider a much needed response. First at the United Nations this morning, an emergency Securities Council session. When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of state that we are compelled to take our own action. For the sake of the victims, i hope the rest of the council is finally willing to do the same. Will be ....
Of what they call the gun. although xi jinping would want to do it he would have to be absolutely sure of his commanders. after what he just saw in ru russia, i think he is probably worried about that. tests because yevgeny prigozhin was a friend, ally and loyal soldier to vladimir putin until all this and he wasn t. i am sure putin right now is going to have to hold back troops to keep himself in power. troops that otherwise would be used in ukraine. i am thinking xi jinping must believe the same thing. who is going to launch an invasion of some neighbor he is going to have to keep substantial forces back home to protect him from the disloyal commander. so this goes to the nerve in the who was a trusted confidant actually launched a coup attempt. that has scarred the chinese ....
U.s. officials are hoping they can influence that decision to convince china that it would not be in their best interests to send this lethal weaponry, and of course the concern here is prolonging this conflict. if russia is able to get more lethal weaponry, it could prolong the ukraine war. it could. kiley, what do we know about the types of weapons china may send to russia, and how would the u.s. respond? well, according to u.s. officials familiar with this intelligence, it s drones and ammunition that china is considering sending. now, u.s. officials have not publicly stated that. but that is according to our sources who are familiar with this intelligence that the u.s. has gathered and this would be a very substantial escalation from where we have seen china thus far. it s important to note that there have been some chinese companies who have provided non-lethal assistance to russia for this conflict. things like flap jackets, and imagery that can be used on the battlefield, bu ....

Kirby. thank you very much for joining us. russia and china have been negotiating on the price and scope of lethal weapons. what s the latest assessment you have right now? how close is china to the major decision and which way are they leaning? no change in our assessment right now, wolf, that they have not made this decision to move ahead with lethal assistance, and we just don t believe it s in china s interest to do that, to want to be on the side of vladimir putin and helping him kill innocent ukrainian people and get involved even deeper into this particular conflict, so we obviously urged china to make the right choice here and did not come in on the side of russia, particularly when it comes to lethal assistance, and, again, we don t believe it s in their interest to do so. as you know, china has watched this war play out in ukraine now for a year. why are they even considering ramping up support for russia now? you know, it s difficult to know the answer to that one, wol ....
