Russian opposition politician Mark Feygin believes that the US won't allow China to take the lead in the likely negotiations between Ukraine and Russia

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

"Kyiv and Moscow cannot get together just anywhere, without intermediaries. And such a mediator is not ready - there is no one in the US, and Erdogan has already lost his position as a mediator whom Kyiv trusts. First of all, the United States and the West do not see Erdogan as an effective mediator anymore, as he has become too close to Moscow. Therefore, Erdogan's platform is unlikely to be effective," Feygin believes.

The politician believes that the United States will never allow China to become a peacemaker in Europe.

"As for China, Beijing has a better chance of becoming a mediator in the negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow. China has an important trump card: relations with Moscow, the ability to influence it and bring it to the negotiations, to force it to participate. This is a format that China itself would approve of. But there is a problem here - the US does not intend to give China such a trump card. They do not want China to act in this conflict in Europe as a peacemaker, mediator, guarantor, or something else, strengthening its international authority, saying that now China decides when to start and stop wars - the United States will never accept this. Never. Trump is generally anti-China, and even the current Biden administration continues to call China a regional power in Southwest Asia, not a superpower, and nothing more, following Obama, and does not recognise its claims to some kind of binary world, a bipolar world with Washington and Beijing. Therefore, the United States will not agree to this," he added.

  • On July 26, it became known that China would send Li Hui, the government's special representative for Eurasian affairs, to the Global South to hold "consultations on Ukraine".
  • On August 2, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the Sino-Brazilian "plan to end the war in Ukraine" had received a positive response from 110 countries.
