Diplomat Volodymyr Ohryzko stated this on Espreso TV."For the Chinese and Americans, the main topic of this meeting was not the issue of Ukraine, but their own economic problems. And this is what worried both Trump and Xi. But it is very good that Trump raised the issue of ending the war in Ukraine. Did he receive a positive answer? My version is no, because the Chinese leader would have definitely said so.The answer was diplomatic: 'We are interested in peace throughout the world. China has always strived to be a major participant in this process. We will not in any way prevent others from ending this war.' That is, Xi diplomatically avoided the topic and noted that he was least concerned about it," Ohryzko emphasized.The diplomat believes that it is too early to talk about a radical change in China's position after the meeting with Trump. At the same time, the Chinese oil market has already reacted to the event itself."We already see that Chinese state and private companies are beginning to ponder whether it is worth risking their prospects for the sake of helping Russia. And this means that when the same trends appear in other markets, and we summarize all this together, we will get a rather sad picture for Putin," Ohryzko added. Negotiations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping took place in South Korea, during which, among other things, the issue of trade between the world's two largest economies was discussed. Ukraine was also discussed.
