Former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger talked about the Russia-Ukraine conflict in an interview with CBS on the 7th. He mentioned China’s role in it, saying that because China has participated in the mediation, Russia and Ukraine may have a war between Russia and Ukraine before the end of 2023. peace talks.
Kissinger made the remarks on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” program that aired that day. Kissinger said the Ukraine crisis may be approaching a turning point. “Now that China has joined the talks, I think by the end of this year, the negotiations will enter a critical stage,” he said. “We will discuss the negotiation process, and even actual negotiations.”
Kissinger’s statement on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the interview also attracted the attention of Russian media such as “Russia Today” (RT) TV station and Russian Satellite News Agency. RT said in a report on the 7th that this was Kissinger’s prediction of the peaceful prospects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In addition, the “Wall Street Journal” published an article on the 7th that the United States and its allies have begun to pay attention to China’s potential role in ending the Russia-Ukraine war. The article pointed out that some U.S. and European officials said that they believed that Ukraine’s planned spring offensive might pave the way for Russia-Ukraine negotiations before the end of the year, and that China could help bring Russia to the negotiating table.
The Russian-Ukrainian war stalemate continues.
The article pointed out that the willingness of Western countries to encourage negotiations and seek to let China play a role in the negotiations represents a shift in thinking, especially the United States. The United States had previously been highly skeptical of any move by China to meddle, given China’s longstanding support for Russia. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently expressed cautious optimism publicly that China could help defuse the conflict.
The article pointed out that US and European officials judged that Russia and Ukraine are unable to continue fighting indefinitely, and China’s willingness to help promote international peace talks should be tested. However, they are still not sure whether Russia is willing to negotiate a ceasefire agreement under the leadership of President Putin.
The article pointed out that several European officials said that important European leaders now have confidence in China’s eagerness to promote Russia-Ukraine ceasefire negotiations.
Both Russia and Ukraine are China’s strategic partners. China has always maintained close communication and contact with Russia and Ukraine. Promoting peace and promoting talks is China’s consistent position on the Ukraine crisis.
On April 26, President Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the request, emphasizing again that “dialogue and negotiation are the only feasible way out.” The Chinese side also proposed to send a special representative of the Chinese government on Eurasian affairs to visit Ukraine and other countries to have in-depth communication with all parties on the political solution to the Ukrainian crisis.

During the phone call, Xi Jinping mentioned that China issued the document “China’s Position on the Political Solution to the Ukraine Crisis”, and believed that rational thinking and voices from all parties are increasing, and we should seize the opportunity to accumulate favorable conditions for the political settlement of the crisis. It is hoped that all parties will reflect deeply from the Ukrainian crisis and jointly seek a way to long-term peace and stability in Europe through dialogue.
On March 20, Xi Jinping made a state visit to Russia and held talks with President Putin. The foreign ministers of China and Uzbekistan have also talked on the phone many times. In February this year, talks were held during the Munich Security Conference to pave the way and prepare for the phone call between the two heads of state.
In addition, since the beginning of this year, dignitaries from many countries have visited China one after another, exchanging views with China on the Ukraine crisis, and supporting China to play an active role in the process of coordinating and resolving the Ukraine crisis. For example, during his visit to China, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed appreciation for China’s important role in the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, and hoped to strengthen communication with China and make joint efforts for peace.
The international community is full of expectations that China is expected to facilitate ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
