Washington (USA), 29 August (LaPresse) – During last week's meeting at the White House with European leaders and Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump reportedly proposed sending Chinese troops to Ukraine as a peacekeeping force. This was reported by the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the matter. The US president, the sources said, proposed inviting China to provide a military contingent to monitor a neutral zone along the 1,300 km Ukrainian front line as part of a peace agreement with Russia. The news is “false”, said a senior US administration official, claiming that there had been “no discussion of Chinese peacekeeping forces”. The idea, the Financial Times notes, is opposed by European capitals and was previously rejected by Ukrainian President Zelensky because of Beijing's support for Russia's war effort.
