US President-elect Donald Trump and Leader Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation today. This is reported by Bloomberg with reference to the official Chinese agency Xinhua.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping reiterated his position on the resolution of the war in Ukraine. It boils down to supporting peace by facilitating negotiations, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Beijing has also shown its interest in Turkey's electric vehicle and energy projects. Turkey is focusing to position itself as a hub for European trade.

Sen. Marco Rubio, the likely next secretary of State, said Wednesday that Ukraine must have leverage to deter future Russian invasions.

A top adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked on Friday if Moscow will be sending a representative to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration following news China's vice president will attend the event.

A settlement that dismembers Ukraine and rewards Putin will undermine U.S. credibility.

Ukraine recently received a new Chinese ambassador, Ma Shengkun, and a new Ukrainian ambassador, Olexander Nechytaylo, has been appointed to China, although he has yet to receive agreement. Perhaps this development could bring some new dynamics to the Sino-Ukrainian relations.

If Ukraine falls, it will be hard to spin as anything but a debacle for the United States, and for its president.
