China refuses to talk about the situation in Ukraine during a possible meeting with the participation of Russia and the United States.
China rejects the idea of holding a tripartite conference with the participation of Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, where it is planned to discuss the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The relevant information was reported by Reuters, citing its own sources.
The talks are expected to take place in Shenzhen during the APEC summit on November 18-19. The Chinese side rejects Washington's initiative to discuss a nuclear arms limitation agreement. Beijing is convinced that China's nuclear potential is significantly lower than that of Russia and America.
A US administration official told Reuters that Washington does not expect an agreement on the nuclear issue, but calls on China to take a more active part in negotiations on the issue.
Negotiations on a possible tripartite meeting have been ongoing since the summer. Discussions between the representatives of the mentioned countries regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the guidance systems of nuclear warheads were previously mentioned, as well as the preparation of a document confirming the inadmissibility of a nuclear conflict.
