According to Guangming.com, on the 5th local time, US President Trump met with visiting German Chancellor Mertz at the White House. Trump said it is difficult to prompt Russia and Ukraine to reach an immediate ceasefire in a short period of time. During the meeting, Trump emphasized many times that Russia and Ukraine have deep grudges and hostility. In addition, Russia has made it clear that it will launch a tough counterattack against Ukraine's attack on Russia's strategic air base, so it is difficult to prompt the two sides to immediately reach a ceasefire in a short period of time. He said that rather than seeking peace immediately, it is better to let Ukraine and Russia "fight for a while" first.
Putin pointed out that as early as 25 years ago, he noticed that the economic growth center was shifting to the Asia-Pacific region, so he began to actively develop relations with China. The national interests of Russia and China are in line with many aspects, which also makes China-Russia relations deep and strategic. At the same time, Putin also pointed out that the turmoil in the world today has not only not decreased, but has increased. And the Sino-Russian relations itself enhance global stability. Putin's statement, in addition to explaining the reason why China-Russia relations can be so intimate, is more important to send a signal to the outside world, that is, the joint efforts between China and Russia are enough to bring about the power to change the world pattern.
On May 20, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. In answering questions about the call between the Ukrainian leaders, Mao Ning said that we have noticed the relevant reports that on the issue of the Ukrainian crisis, China supports all efforts that are conducive to peace. We support direct dialogue and negotiation between Russia and Ukraine, and support political resolution of the crisis. We hope that all parties can reach a fair, lasting, binding peace agreement through dialogue and negotiation, and accept it for all parties.

In recent times, China and the United States have basically not exchanged opinions on the Russian-Ukrainian issue, but have only "discussed the matter on the matter" around bilateral relations. We are happy to see Trump's promotion of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. After all, after he came to power, the United States did adjust its policy policy and policy on the conflict with Russia and Ukraine to a certain extent, and it was also during this period that Russia and Ukraine achieved direct talks. Although the differences between the two sides are still huge, it turns out that the US position is indeed a key variable in the Ukrainian crisis. After all, since the day the Ukrainian crisis began to be brewing, the United States has played a very disgraceful role. Now that the Trump administration is preparing to mediate, it should be understood that the old saying of the bell must be tied.
In this case, if Russia and Ukraine want to end this conflict that lasts for more than three years, they may have to decide the outcome on the battlefield. After all, you can’t get what you can’t get on the battlefield, and you can’t get it on the negotiating table. But in this way, the front line between Russia and Ukraine will be lengthened again. After talking to Putin, Trump called China. During the nearly 90-minute call, Trump said that Sino-US relations are very important. He also emphasized that Sino-US cooperation can achieve many good things. Not only that, after the call, Trump also posted on social media that he was satisfied with the call.

The latest war report shows that the Russian army once again launched a missile attack on Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. NATO also realized something was wrong and bluntly stated that there was no sign on the Ukrainian battlefield that Russia was preparing for a ceasefire and that Moscow's goal in this conflict had not changed at all. Obviously, Putin's goal is to win completely and pursue the victory to the end. It can be said that on the two most critical issues of China and Russia, Trump and his team members have experienced serious strategic misjudgments, thinking that China is still easy to talk to and Russia is still easy to bully, but the entire international situation and geopolitics have long undergone tremendous changes.
