White House, if China proposes ceasefire Kiev rejects it

(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, MARCH 20 - If China launches an appeal for a ceasefire during Xi's visit to Moscow, Kiev should reject it, "which we will do too", because "it would basically ratify what (the Russians) have been able to conquer inside Ukraine and would give them time and a way to prepare", National Security Council spokesman John Kirby reiterated to CNN.
