In order to satisfy Russia, the United States reached out to China.
According to Sputnik, the US assistant secretary of state said that the country wants China’s action to return Russia to negotiations with Ukraine.
US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien announced on Monday that the US has asked China to use its leverage to bring Russia back to the negotiating table with Ukraine.
The senior diplomat of the US State Department emphasized in a press conference: “What we are looking for is that China uses its leverage to bring Russia back to the negotiating table with the aim of resolving this conflict according to the UN Charter.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in early June that if Kiev leaves the new Russian territories and officially abandons NATO membership plans, Russia will immediately establish a ceasefire and start negotiations with Ukraine.
