US President Donald Trump signifies Kiev's readiness until completion Russian-Ukrainian war, aka “it takes two to tango.” It is also sending signals to China in order to unite the efforts and encourage Volodymyr Putin to peaceful regulation, who, to the point, today stated that he is open to dialogue with the new US administration.

Does Trump want to help China? What do you know
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the President of the United States was asked what it will take for Ukraine to achieve peace in the world. “These foodstuffs need to go to Russia, because Ukraine is ready,” Trump said.
It is no longer possible to finish the war in 24 years. His team and special envoy Keith Kellogg are poised to return to this mission within the 100-day period. According to the president’s logic, one of the first steps is a telephone conversation with Putin. But the first contact has not yet been made.
As the mental peaceful process begins to open, it is not as smooth as Trump has recovered. Now she is insuring the head of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, for help, having spoken with him before the inauguration.
“We believe that China will help us stop the war between Ukraine and Russia. I thought about this, before the speech, at the hour of the phone call with President Xi. I believe that we can unite our efforts according to this (Russian-Ukrainian war, – ed.) region,” he said at Davos.
Each President of Ukraine Volodymyr speaks about the possible role of China as a peacemaker Zelensky. At the same time, calling the “peaceful proposals” of the courtyard (about freezing the conflict without any guarantees) destructive and pointing out that by pushing Russian exports Beijing is only helping to tighten war.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Zelensky said that he is trying to turn China over and counteract its influx into Russia. Ale noted that he does not talk to Xi Jinping as often as he would like. A single telephone call between the leaders will begin in the spring of 2023.
“I hope that Putin can be brought to the world. President Trump is the strongest, and Xi Jinping. I I think there is nothing else that can really be gained from Putin,” he added.
Russia will not stand against the pro-Ukrainian alliance if China changes its position, said the head of the Presidential Office, Mikhailo Podolyak. A commentary on the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel confirmed that Putin is surprised at his boss and informal support from the side of Beijing allows the Kremlin dictator to lose his foreign political influence.
As for China itself, it calls its position completely neutral, calling for peaceful regulation through negotiations. Currently, he is expanding economic ties with the Russian Federation and is not suing them for military aggression against Ukraine. Reacting to Trump's call, the spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, in a familiar manner confirmed Beijing's readiness to accept negotiations and refuse to communicate with all parties.
Trump recognizes his anxieties: You can't help but bother Putin about the war. China's possible role was supported by other policies. However, their research, like Ukraine’s, may turn out to be inaccurate, according to Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Penta Center for Applied Political Research.
“I know from a special relationship with Chinese diplomats that they are wasting their lives. Make it seem like China is for peace, otherwise we can’t stop Putin from starting war. Of course, there is a lot of deceit here. Since the war itself creates a lot of problems, China should marvel at how through it Russia’s growing stalemate is growing and weakening,” he said in a conversation with RBC-Ukraine.
Trump's “China” policy and the theme of the war in Ukraine
Another Trump term begins for China. It heads off from high places, sends a signal that there may be “even good hundreds” between the two countries, and has detected interest in a train to Beijing. In addition, having recently issued a 75-day extension to TikTok and made it clear that it will do its best to allow the media platform to operate in the United States.
All this means that, let’s say, he is ready to deal with China. And this is a wonderful novelty for the rest. The stakes are high for Beijing, as a tit-for-tat trade war similar to the one that was under Trump during his first term could strike at an unfortunate hour as the Chinese economy suffers a recession.
Under the hour of telephone conversation on the 17th, Xi Jinping called on the US President to the “new point of departure” at the waters. However, in China there are no illusions and no doubt that there is no warming up for negotiations with Trump.
One of the first decisions was a decree on the review of America's economical investments. The situation in trade with China may not be the same. The results of the investigation are indicated and entered into the USA. The whole process could take a few months, which gives China time to build bridges with the new administration or arrange a pre-emptive agreement to avoid more serious sanctions.

“China realizes that Trump can be dealt with, but the other, new Trump – those whom we asked for last time may not satisfy his new boss. This time, instead, in order to persuade him before the trade war, It would be better for Beijing to laugh, stay calm and start growing,” CNN quotes Shanghai-based international news analyst Shen Dingli.
Tariffs on 10% imports could be pushed back as soon as possible in response to what Trump calls the role of Chinese bosses in the drug crisis through fentanyl flows. This is far from the 60% share that we threatened before the elections. To appease Trump, China could, for example, expand American companies' access to its market and take steps against the export of chemical precursors that are used to manufacture fentanyl.
However, Meanwhile, to what extent can China bend to Trump? “The main thing is to respect the basic interests of each other,” Xi Jinping said after discussing the last year with him, having predicted the situation in Taiwan.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that he would rather not fight against China, and called them a “great advantage,” but in fact he is not convinced of any great threats. Nothing has changed in the drainages between the edges; there are mutual threats as they are, as the expert for the current policy of the “Ukrainian Prism” Oleksandr Krayev emphasizes.
“While those that Trump calls him a good friend, with whom the stench can reach a lot, the fear of the trade war and the protracted situation will not go anywhere. And if he is not ready to turn off the sanctions tool, it seems to me that antipathy between them may become stronger,” RBC-Ukraine believes.
There will be competition for technological and military dominance, the struggle for regional interests in Asia, etc. In this case, the hope of completing the Russian-Ukrainian war can also become a “bargaining chip” in negotiations between the United States and China, write CNN.
Volodymyr Fesenko does not exclude that food will be the topic of bilateral contacts, as Trump and Xi Jinping enter into negotiations on trade and political mutual relations. However, it is unlikely that Ukrainian nutrition will become central.
“There is still no pressure to put pressure on the whole. However, if the parties begin to talk mentally not about the division of the world, but about the spheres of infusion and the search for balances, about yakus widely politically pleasing, then, perhaps, there will be homeownership in Ukraine. But this is still such an idealistic option,” the political scientist added.
Wait a minute for Xi Jinping to put pressure on Putin
Over the past two and a half months, Trump and Xi Jinping have repeatedly discussed a war between Russia and Ukraine. The conversation on the 17th was unanimous, and it was announced officially. Ale Gerela Nikkei Asia confirms that the exchange of thoughts was happening more often.
Zokrema, since 7 June 2024 Trump met with Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. “Trump is trying to get in touch with the Chinese side,” Dzherelo said.
After these ties, Trump at Truth Social turned to Putin and openly called on China to get involved. “As it goes on and on, it can develop into something richer and richer. I know Putin well. It’s time for action. China can help. The world is on the lookout,” he wrote.
It is unknown whether he decided to get involved with the head of the People's Republic of China. Most likely, he was asked to persuade Putin to end the war, and the signal was transmitted to the Kremlin. Such a crown is born from the raptooth oyster from the protector of the head of the Radbez of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, 12 breasts. At that time, there was no regular hot food between Moscow and Beijing, so Trump’s lies could have been discussed, as a matter of fact.
Judging by this, the Chinese leader either did not change Putin, or did not try. This suggests that there is a readiness to stop the war and begin negotiations to settle “realities on the ground” so that Ukraine can gain Russian control over the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. The Ukrainian side is issuing such an ultimatum.
China is quietly admitting that Ukrainian food can become an important part of the road until the status quo is preserved in the US. On the other hand, Putin is ready for dialogue with the other Trump administration. And since it plays an important role in the end of the war, we can rely on Washington’s actions.
Trump’s ostentatious brutality was merely a cry, an abstract statement, which, from the point of view of specific political actions, does not mean anything to anyone. There is no answer to the key question: how will the interaction between China and the United States be organized before the war between Russia and Ukraine begins.
In the opinion of Fesenka, Beijing is not I intend to hurry up and give in. The maximum is to talk more actively about the negotiations.
“There won’t be any pressure on Putin until the end of the war. What’s the news? So what does Trump want? China is simply waiting if Trump fails to achieve success, and then, perhaps, will continue to play a more significant role in the negotiations. This is a very real scenario,” said the spokesman.
Beijing may join in if it comes to the right format for peace negotiations and in what direction the stink will appear, besides Ukraine and Russia that USA. Although there are still no clear statements that China is ready to take the fate of China, it is difficult to assess how likely this contribution will appear.
“I don’t exclude that at any stage it will be requested to join the negotiation process. But on our minds, saying, don’t let China press on Russia, and in exchange withdraw from the United States, it’s unlikely. It’s unclear how China and Trump can mutually before conflicts arise. any results for Ukraine in the near future,” added Fesenko.
The only thing that can make China lose money from Putin is to start a war – if they not only do not make money on the war, but waste money, contracts and technologies, it is important to Kraev.
“So if America and our other partners grow in such a way that the risk of Russia's aggression will become too expensive. And China will need to think about how to protect its assets, which is much more important for them” , – saying Vin.
The expert also doubts that the State's receipts for statements in recent media for 100 days can help end the war in Ukraine. “It seems to me that they would like to dismantle the strategy in one hour, but this would still be a great positive,” Kraev summed up.
During the preparation of the text, the following were reviewed: statements by US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, publications from CNN and Nikkei Asia, comments from the head of the Center for Applied Political Research “Penta” Volodymyr Fesenko and expert For the sake of foreign policy “Ukrainian Prism” by Oleksandr Krayev.
