Beijing gave Moscow “tacit support” in the Ukraine standoff, the Pentagon said on Feb. 14, calling the Chinese action “deeply alarming.”

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby sounded the alarm during a press briefing on Monday, as Russia has positioned about 130,000 troops, as well as tanks and artillery, near Ukraine’s border.
