Currently, only two countries can stop Russian dictator-president Vladimir Putin from waging war against Ukraine.
This was stated by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak.
According to him, China is well aware that the main obstacle to peace is Russia's unwillingness to stop the war.
"Beijing could stop the aggression with one decision, but it is more advantageous for it to remain an observer, as its geopolitical rivals are exhausted, and the dependence of its allies grows - and all this without any direct costs," the Presidential Office representative emphasized.
Podolyak believes that the United States should once again take on the role of moderator and force the Kremlin to end the war. Otherwise, the politician stresses, it will have to be acknowledged that the world is gradually reorienting towards the East.
"I am confident that Mr. Trump clearly understands these risks. No one wants to go down in history as the president under whom America surrendered its leadership. Therefore, the diplomatic process in the configuration of strong USA - active Europe - resolute Ukraine with China's participation is inevitable," Mykhailo Podolyak stated.
He emphasizes: while waiting for new negotiations, Ukraine is actively preparing and deploying its own military production, receiving the necessary weapons, and working on forming security guarantees.
