China will plant the Russian Federation at the table: WSJ learned how the Armed Forces offensive will affect Ukraine negotiations

This option will be a shift in thinking of the event, especially the US, who critically perceived the idea of ​​involving Beijing in a peaceful initiative because of his proximity to Moscow, the newspaper writes. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken publicly expressed anxiety that Beijing could help discharge the conflict. "This approach is based on the point of view of the impossibility of either the parties of the war to fight infinitely.

Beijing's willingness to play a role in international peace negotiations should be checked," the authors said. Most of the WSJ officials are still not sure of Russia's willingness to negotiate a ceasefire for President Vladimir Putin. The state's interest in negotiations, according to the interlocutors, brings them closer to part of European countries who wish to end a full -scale war or at least a decrease in its intensity.

European officials and chief representatives in the United States National Security Council support the idea of ​​peace talks. The State Department and the CIA want to see how the Armed Forces is going on, WSJ notes. High officials in Paris and Berlin expect that the White House will try to facilitate negotiations after expected successes of the Armed Forces.

The goal is that Ukraine will return an important territory in the south - it will be a success, even if Russia retains other occupied territories and has added a newspaper. The impetus for negotiations occurs against the background of fears that Western allies will not be able to support Ukraine if the war goes to a dead end.

The main problem is the supply of ammunition, as Western industrial facilities are not able to meet their own needs for the support of the Armed Forces, several officials and heads of MIC enterprises said. Western leaders are slowly approaching the consensus that the termination of the Great War would be the best option, said a former national security council, a staff of Brukings Fiona Hill.

A number of high -ranking officials in European governments talk about a high level of loss of troops and equipment in Ukraine and warn that its population is less than 1/3 of the Russian population. Poland, Baltic countries and some officials in the United Kingdom believe that Ukraine needs to succeed, even if the future offensive does not change the situation on the battlefield.

"It is impossible to determine what any negotiations will look, but in Paris and Berlin have declared interest in a widely formulated ceasefire agreement, which can potentially attract China to its guarantees," the sources say. Recall that the recently the publication of The Washington Post wrote about the fears of Ukrainian high -ranking officials about the results of counter -offensive, which allegedly "did not" meet the expectations of the event.
