WASHINGTON: The United States on Monday called China's "tacit support" for Moscow in the Ukrainian standoff "deeply alarming," as Western powers fear an imminent Russian invasion of the ex-Soviet state.

"Their tacit support, if you will, for Russia is deeply alarming and frankly even more destabilizing to the security situation in Europe," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
