Washington [US], April 19 (ANI): The United States will continue to carefully monitor the level of support China may show towards Russia with respect to Ukraine, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Monday (local time).
"We're going to continue to keep a careful eye, a careful watch on the level of support the PRC (People's Republic of China) exhibits towards Russia," Price said during a press briefing.
