U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said on Saturday she was troubled that China had deepened its relationship with Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine, noting Chinese support to Russia would undermine the rules-based international order.

Speaking at the annual Munich Security Conference, she said bipartisan, transatlantic support for Ukraine would continue.

"If (Russian President Vladimir) Putin thinks he can wait us out, he is badly mistaken," Harris said in a panel at the gathering of top politicians, military officers and defence industry chiefs and experts.

"Time is not on his side"
