The White House urged China on Monday to stop supporting Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine after the brief Wagner mutiny threw Russia’s domestic political balance into uncertainty.

According to White House national security spokesperson John Kirby, the Biden administration is actively monitoring the situation but has not yet determined how the recent revolt of Wagner Group, a prominent Russian private military company, will affect Russia, Ukraine, and other European nations.
