Details: Miller reiterated that China is helping to fuel the fighting by supporting Russia's defence industry.

Quote: "We have always made clear that it is important that every country in the world recognize that in this conflict there’s an aggressor and there’s a victim. 

And we shouldn’t treat the two parties as if they bear equal responsibility."

Details: Miller also stressed that the United States clearly emphasised this when talking to the Chinese side.

Quote: "I know that other members of NATO and European countries have also made that clear to Russia. And we think it’s important anytime that any country – and of course that includes China – hear directly from Ukraine."
