'Russia's war efforts face major problems, challenges that are about to get worse. That Beijing is pushing such a Moscow-favorable agreement shows that Xi Jinping's priority isn't a just peace, but rather the most preferable peace for Russia.' -TomRtweets
As the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, Li"carried a clear message: U.S. allies in Europe should assert their autonomy and urge an immediate cease-fire, leaving Russia in possession of the parts of its smaller neighbor that it now occupies, according to Western officials familiar with talks in capitals across the continent."
This is an absurd foundation for peace. Inherent in its obvious unacceptability to Ukraine, China's narrative asks the West to abandon Kyiv just as Ukraine expands its strategic initiative. Russia's war efforts face major problems, challenges that are about to get far worse. That Beijing is pushing such a Moscow-favorable agreement shows that Xi Jinping's priority is not a just peace, but rather the most preferable peace for Russia.
Macron is not stupid. In fact, he's one of the smartest world leaders. But it's clear that the reason Macron is claiming that China is genuinely interested in broaching a just peace isn't because he actually believes that. Rather, he's saying as much only because doing so gives Macron political cover for his broader appeasement policy toward Beijing.
Macron's problem is that by ultimately associating himself closer to China than to his European and American allies, Macron undermines the Western unity needed to deter Beijing and Moscow's aggressive excesses. Whether it's their increasing espionage cooperation or their escalating joint military activity around Japan, Beijing and Moscow are making clear that their partnership has increasingly few limits.

They were headed to a nearby island in the Dnieper River, the watery front line between Russian and Ukrainian forces, and the area was getting heavily shelled. Standing at her stove, making pork and potato soup, Ivanova heard — and felt — an enormous blast, much more frightening, she said, than the explosions
