Russia’s war on Ukraine could not continue without support from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to one former Air Force Brigadier General.
“The real leverage point here is China,” Gen. Robert Spalding, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, told The Epoch Times on March 3. “It’s not really the Russians, because the Russians could not do what they’ve done without the tacit approval of China.”
