WASHINGTON—White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who has voiced concerns about Beijing’s growing ties with Moscow and involvement in the Russia–Ukraine conflict, says he doubts that the Chinese proposal to end the fighting would work.

“We want them to make the right choice not to make it easier for Putin to kill Ukrainians,” Kirby told The Epoch Times. “They’re going to have to make these choices. And we don’t think it’s in their interest to come in on the side of Russia wholeheartedly and inside this war.”
