Fearing the onset of a Trump presidency they approach China hoping that the Chinese could help to lessen Putin’s clearly stated peace preconditions. It’s hard to say how much control Zelensky has over this initiative. I sense panic and chaos, cross and double cross. I don’t think that Peking could have much influence over what Putin thinks is an existential threat to national security. The Chinese are no doubt flattered to be considered as geopolitical power brokers but they would never risk their newly established favorable relationship with Russia.
I fear that only a military solution can end this war, and by that I mean a Ukrainian military collapse or sudden regime change in Kiev. The “good news” is that Russia doesn’t want western Ukraine only those ethnic Russian regions that are already a part of the Russian Federation.
