White House Reacts to President Putin Welcoming Chinese President to Moscow | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The White House is reacting to a high-profile meeting in Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting Chinese Leader Xi Jinping. The war in Ukraine is a top topic. The US promised to send Ukraine another $350 million in weapons and equipment. For more than a year now, the Biden Administration has been trying to put the squeeze on Vladimir Putin after he launched the war. The US is using sanctions, providing billions of dollars in military aid and trying to keep NATO united against Russia just days after an international arrest warrant was issued for Russian President Putin, for alleged war crimes against Ukraine. In reaction to the Kremlin leader welcoming Chinese Leader Xi Jinping, John Kirby, National Security Council spokesman says, "We hope that President Xi will press President Putin to cease bombing Ukrainian cities, hospitals, and schools, to halt the war crimes and atrocities." The 2 major powers are describing Xi's 3 day trip as an opportunity to deepen their "no-limits friendship." President Putin also welcomed China's proposals for a political settlement in Ukraine and noted that Russia is open for talks. White House Correspondent, Owen Jensen reports.
