President 's administration on Friday rejected a Chinese call for a ceasefire in Russia's invasion of the Ukraine, saying it would result in the Kremlin getting ownership of its conquered territory in the sovereign nation.White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the proposal from Beijing is 'effectively the ratification of Russian conquest' and would 'recognize Russia's gains.''Russia would be free, then, to use a ceasefire to only further entrench their positions in Ukraine. To rebuild, refit and refresh their forces so that they can restart attacks on Ukraine at a time of their choosing. We do not believe that this is a step towards a just and global peace,' he told reporters in a briefing call.
