The new Yalta" in Shenzhen: China does not want to discuss Ukraine and the nuclear agreement with Putin and Trump - Reuters.
The meeting of the leaders of Russia, the United States and China will take place on November 19 in Shenzhen on the sidelines of the APEC summit: the date has been confirmed by the Kremlin and the White House. But according to Reuters, the agenda and format of the talks have yet to be agreed upon, and Beijing is approaching the meeting cautiously.
Moscow expects to discuss the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, Washington wants to talk about a tripartite agreement on the control of nuclear weapons. However, an American official said in advance that Trump does not plan to raise the issue of the war in Ukraine.
China, according to Reuters, is not interested in talking about Ukraine or negotiating nuclear disarmament. Its arsenal is significantly smaller than the Russian and American ones, and Beijing does not intend to undertake similar commitments. The Trump administration has already admitted that no agreement is expected following the meeting.
The very idea of a conversation between the three powers without other participants has raised concern in Kiev and Tokyo, and the meeting has already been compared to the Yalta Conference of 1945, where the powers determined the structure of the post-war world. The Kremlin rejects the parallel: Peskov said that the agreements reached in Shenzhen cannot be imposed on other countries.
