Part 2/8:
In a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, it emerged that while US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are expressing a willingness to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, China is maneuvering to play a pivotal role in these discussions. Informally, Chinese officials have proposed a summit between Trump and Putin, suggesting that China can facilitate post-war peacekeeping efforts.
However, this proposal has faced significant skepticism from both the US and European nations, mainly due to China's close alliance with Russia. Critics highlight the concerning absence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the proposed discussions, raising alarms about the implications for Ukraine's sovereignty and interests.
