So the Ukrainian FM is going to stay to China for four whole days..
That's very uncommon if it was going to be just normal visit, which leads me to believe that Elensky wants to hedge his bets in case Trump becomes president. On the other hand, Putin would be an idiot if he agreed to anything before Trump actually becomes president.
So this middle stage between these two parties require some Chinese mediation which is partly why the Ukrainian FM is coming to China.
