Beijing opposes the inclusion of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the agenda of the proposed negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Reuters reports, citing sources familiar with the Chinese side's position.
According to the agency, Donald Trump intends to use the negotiations to advance the idea of a trilateral agreement on nuclear arms control. Beijing, however, sees itself as a less influential participant in such a dialogue, due to the fact that its nuclear arsenal is inferior to those of Russia and the United States.
