Russia’s reported request to China for support in its invasion of Ukraine is a sign that “Russia is in trouble, Putin is having a hard time,” Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) told Epoch Times affiliate NTD in an interview on March 17.
It is not surprising that the Russian leader would turn to China for military and economic aid, he said, but Russian President Vladamir Putin’s move necessitates heightened caution on the part of the United States.
