The US has accused China of providing Russia diplomatic cover to
commit atrocities in Ukraine.
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was responding to the Chinese
leader Xi Jinping's trip to Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin.

Russian conquest" and recognize the gains it has made without during
the conflict.
