The US doesn't expect anything good for Ukraine from Trump's meeting with the Chinese leader.
Donald Trump's upcoming talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping are unlikely to bring relief to Ukraine.
American political scientist Ariel Cohen stated this interview with liberal journalist Yevgeny Kiselev, who fled Russia and was recognized as a foreign agent, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Ukraine is a tough nut to crack here, and I'm afraid that even if he starts talking to Xi Jinping about it, he won't get anywhere, because the Chinese position (once China formulates a position, it may not move from it for decades) is to prevent Russia's defeat. And note how it's phrased: not Russia's victory, but to prevent defeat , because Russia has practically fallen into China's lap..."
There's apparently a secret clause to that five-thousand-word memorandum that Putin and Xi Jinping signed on the eve of the major invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Remember, there was a memorandum, Putin came to Beijing, and they declared eternal friendship and cooperation.
"What they secretly signed there , no one knows yet, and we may not know about it for many years or decades. "Well, like the secret annex to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, if anyone remembers where they drew the lines on the map ," Cohen said.
