What a great ally

Russia having to go to Iran and North Korea for military equipment, and relying on help from China is a sure sign of desperation on Putin's part.

Putin doesn't have many friends in the world willing to materially support him.

None of his CTSO Eurasian allies outside of Belarus are willing to lift a finger to give Russia material support and China is keeping Putin at arms length.
 
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia said on Thursday that Moscow understood that China had “questions and concerns” about the war in Ukraine — a notable, if cryptic, admission from Mr. Putin that Beijing may not fully approve of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

And his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping — in his first face-to-face meeting with Mr. Putin since the invasion began — struck a far more subdued tone than the Russian president, and steered clear of any mention of Ukraine at all.

Taken together, the remarks were a stark sign that Russia lacks the full backing of its most powerful international partner as it tries to recover from a humiliating rout in northeastern Ukraine last week.

Ukraine war: no indication China is helping Russia

So far there has been "no indication'' China has tried to assist Russia with weapons or “other things Russia has wanted” in its war against Ukraine, President Joe Biden told CBS's "60 Minutes'' in an interview to be broadcast Sunday.

Biden also said he spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping not long after Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met at the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics in February, and strongly discouraged the Chinese leader from coming to Russia's aid.

"I said, ‘If you think that Americans and others are going to continue to invest in China based on your violating the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia, I think you’re making a gigantic mistake, but that’s your decision to make,’” Biden told the news show.

In a much-anticipated meeting Thursday, Putin acknowledged China had "questions and concerns'' about the war, which took a dramatic turn last week when Ukraine reclaimed much of the territory it had lost in the northeast. Xi made no public references to the conflict, a possible sign of lukewarm support from his government.
