China supports Trump's Ukraine peace efforts at G20 as U.S. allies back Zelenskyy
cnbc.com —
China has expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to negotiate peace with Russia regarding the Ukraine conflict during a G20 meeting in South Africa. This marks a shift in U.S. policy, moving away from isolating Moscow. Trump's recent comments labeling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "dictator" have drawn backlash from U.S. allies, including Australia, Germany, and the UK, who reaffirmed their support for Ukraine. China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, stated that Beijing is willing to play a constructive role in resolving the crisis. Meanwhile, Russia has hardened its stance, insisting that NATO must not grant Ukraine membership.
