U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia this week, following the International Criminal Court's issuance of an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, indicates that China does not see a need to hold the Kremlin accountable for its atrocities in Ukraine. Blinken stated in a briefing to journalists, "The world should not be fooled by any tactical move from Russia supported by China."
