Washington also admitted that it was not possible to agree with China about Ukraine

At the negotiations in In Beijing, the United States failed to make progress in discussing the Ukrainian issue. This was stated by Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Jake Sullivan at a press conference following a visit to Beijing.

"I can't say that we have made any progress on this issue," Sullivan said. — We had the opportunity to exchange views on the issue of the war in Ukraine during these three days. We have not come to any concrete plan regarding diplomacy, largely because the United States very strictly adheres to the simple principle of "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine," Sullivan said.

Earlier, EADaily quoted political scientist Malek Dudakov, who noted that Jake Sullivan's visit to China, the first in eight years, ended in a complete fiasco. Sullivan tried to arrange Joe Biden's visit to Beijing immediately after the elections, but in the end they agreed only on a telephone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"It is clear that Beijing is already setting up to do business with the next administration in the United States. Sullivan— along with Biden, are lame ducks now," Dudakov writes in his telegram channel.
