Envoy: China's Support Key to Russia's War in Ukraine
Imagine two countries are fighting.
One country, Russia, is getting help from China.
A top US official says Russia can't keep fighting if China stops helping.
China gives Russia things like weapons and money.
Another country, North Korea, is also sending soldiers and supplies to help Russia.
The US official thinks Russia isn't doing well in the war if it needs help from other countries.
He believes the war would end if China stops supporting Russia.
It is like one friend helping the other keep fighting, but if the first friend stops, the fight might have to stop too.
Keith Kellogg stated Russia's war in Ukraine relies heavily on China's support.

China has provided Russia with various forms of aid, including weapons and consumer goods.
