Trump seeks help from China to end Russia-Ukraine war

US President Donald Trump has said he would like China's help to deal with Russia while seeking to end the war in Ukraine.

“

China is Russia's largest ally and life support for Moscow since Western sanctions were imposed because of its war in Ukraine.

It becomes known that the end of the Russia-Ukrainian war has become a central point for Trump in recent months, with a ceasefire agreement that has so far escaped, despite his campaign promises to resolve the situation quickly.

A summit with Putin in August did not produce any tangible results, and Trump has become increasingly frustrated with Moscow.

Every time I talk to Vladimir, I develop good conversations and then they don't take anything”, Trump said earlier this week. On Wednesday, he announced new sanctions against Russia's two largest oil companies -- the first direct interventions the Trump administration has imposed on Russia because of the war.

While Trump's meeting with Xi is expected to still focus on hostile trade relations between the US and China, Trump said he would talk to Xi about “all”, including the war in Ukraine. I'd like to see China help us with Russia. I have a very good relationship with President Xi. Very good”, he said, adding that Xi wants to see the war end.

Earlier this week, Trump said Chinese President “could have a major impact on Putin”.
