“A cease-fire now is… effectively the ratification of Russian conquest,” Kirby said.

The White House is already condemning any possible China-brokered peace plan initiative related to Ukraine before it even gets off the ground.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby warned that any unconditional ceasefire would only benefit Putin and his forces as this point. This after it’s also been revealed that Xi is expected to hold a phone call with Ukraine’s Zelensky related to China’s 12-point peace plan. “A cease-fire now is… effectively the ratification of Russian conquest,” Kirby said. “And of course, it would be another continued violation of the U.N. Charter.”
