US President-elect Donald Trump and Leader Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation today. This is reported by Bloomberg with reference to the official Chinese agency Xinhua.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping reiterated his position on the resolution of the war in Ukraine. It boils down to supporting peace by facilitating negotiations, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sen. Marco Rubio, the likely next secretary of State, said Wednesday that Ukraine must have leverage to deter future Russian invasions.

Beijing has also shown its interest in Turkey's electric vehicle and energy projects. Turkey is focusing to position itself as a hub for European trade.

A settlement that dismembers Ukraine and rewards Putin will undermine U.S. credibility.

Ukraine recently received a new Chinese ambassador, Ma Shengkun, and a new Ukrainian ambassador, Olexander Nechytaylo, has been appointed to China, although he has yet to receive agreement. Perhaps this development could bring some new dynamics to the Sino-Ukrainian relations.

According to Ushakov, Moscow will not have a presence at the inauguration because Russia's possible candidate for Russian ambassador to the U.S.—Alexander Darchiev, the head of the North American Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry—has still not received an agrément from Washington.
