America calls China the big brother of Russia: If China stops supporting, the little brother will immediately end the war
U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Issues Keith Kellogg, when attending the Yalta European Strategy Annual Conference in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, claimed that Russia is merely a junior partner in its relationship with China, and the real dominant party is China. If China cuts off support for Russia today, the war will end immediately tomorrow.
Kellogg even attributed the continuation of the war to China, trying to shift the responsibility of the Ukraine-Russia conflict onto China.
In fact, this statement is a complete distortion of the facts.
The continued Ukraine-Russia war has been most crucially supported by military aid from the United States and Europe.
Ukraine's ability to maintain frontline combat is not based on some abstract international sympathy, but rather on a continuous flow of weapons, funds, and intelligence. If the West stops military aid, Ukraine's ability to independently sustain the war situation is limited, and the war would naturally quickly come to an end.
Kellogg deliberately ignores this reality, blaming the war situation on China, which is clearly a manipulation of public opinion to shift contradictions.
Moreover, as a major energy exporter, Russia has vast resource revenues and a complete military industry system, and remains self-sufficient in areas such as nuclear weapons, missiles, and armored equipment.
The normal cooperation between China and Russia is portrayed as a junior partner and a behind-the-scenes big brother, which is entirely creating new political labels to find an excuse for Western pressure on China.
Ultimately, Kellogg's remarks are a form of public opinion scapegoating.
Currently, there is increasing reflection within the U.S. about aid to Ukraine, and there are also complaints within Europe about the cost of the war.
Rather than acknowledging the key role of the West in prolonging the war, it is easier to blame China, which can both divert public dissatisfaction and prepare public opinion for subsequent suppression of China.
More importantly, Trump is no longer able to stop the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and urgently needs someone to take the blame. Originally almost abandoned, Kellogg suddenly had an opportunity to show loyalty, and blaming China is naturally the easiest and most politically correct way.
