Now Russia is no longer mentioned in the project.

China decided to continue the development of the long-range wide-body airliner C929 without Russia's role, although at first it was positioned as a common Chinese-Russian project.

This is reported by BBC.

The publication reports that now Russia is no longer mentioned in any way on the model of the aircraft and its description at the stand of the Chinese aircraft manufacturing corporation COMAC, which was located at the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK.

The company told journalists that China is working on this project without the Russians. At the same time, they did not name the reasons why Russia is no longer presenting projects.

The long-range airliner project was previously called CR929, it was supposed to compete with aircraft manufactured by Boeing and Airbus. The Russian corporation Rostec claimed that the C in its name stands for China and the R stands for Russia.

Recall that it was previously reported that the US is preparing new sanctions against China for aiding Russian aggression against Ukraine.

In addition, we previously reported that Britain called China, Russia and North Korea “mortal” threats.

~6 0~p>Everything will depend on Ukraine.

The closer to the US elections, which will take place on November 5, the more in the West talk about the need to start negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. The Ukrainian authorities are already talking about this cautiously. In a recent interview with the BBC, Vladimir Zelensky said that with the support of its allies, Ukraine can “try to end the hot stage of the war by the end of this year.” “This does not mean that all territories are conquered by force. I think that the power of diplomacy can help,” the president added.

The Western proposals in the commentary on TSN.ua were assessed by the director of the security program of the studios of the Council of Foreign Policy “Ukrainian Prism” Anna Shelest.

Is there pressure on Ukraine and what will Russia ask for

Over the past six months, the question has constantly been raised at various closed venues whether Ukraine is capable of defeating the Russian Federation on the battlefield. After the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the fall of 2022, when we liberated the Kharkov region and the right bank of the Kherson region, as well as our successful strikes on Crimea, the conversation was that Ukraine was really capable of somehow liberating all its territories by military means.

“Yes, even then it was discussed whether it was possible to end the war without the liberation of Crimea or Donbass, to decide something later in negotiations… But there was confidence that Ukraine was capable of making a breakthrough on the battlefield. In the last six months, there have been more and more frequent questions about what concessions Ukraine is ready to make, and whether it is worth sitting down at the negotiating table, because the Russians have more resources: this is a burden for the economy and mobilization is difficult; what if the Americans stop giving you weapons;

That is, according to the expert, in fact we see a very serious manipulation, and therefore very different options are offered on international platforms.

In the international media, comments by Western leaders and experts, three main topics are circulating that could be “on the table” for possible negotiations with Russia:

According to Anna Shelest, Ukraine’s membership in NATO at the level of individual experts or politicians (this is in almost every country, even those who are our greatest friends) from different countries is very polar.

Some believe that demonstrating that Ukraine is not in NATO is the biggest mistake.

“And now, after two and a half years of war, they believe that NATO is the only option to secure Ukraine from a repeat of Russian aggression”, – says Anna Shelest.

Others believe that abandoning NATO is the easiest way, because no one owes anyone anything, because the Alliance simply will not make decisions on the defense of Ukraine in the future.

“Sanctions are where too (West – (ed.) are ready to make concessions and offer these options, believing that sanctions can be negotiated with the Russian Federation. And here, in principle, there will be no violation of international law if they abandon the sanctions. As for the territories (concessions to the Russian Federation – ed.) – this is the most difficult question, because here they start talking: firstly, is Ukraine capable of winning back all its territories, and to what extent is Ukraine ready to integrate these territories, which have been under occupation for 10 years, do we have the money for this, how ready are we to work with a society under occupation, etc.,” — Anna Shelest notes.

The most interesting thing, according to her, is that most experts on international platforms believe that Crimea can be given to Russia, because, they say, it is psychologically important for the Kremlin.

“But when you start demonstrating that Ukraine's greatest military successes are precisely in the Crimean and Black Sea directions, fellow experts are stupefied. If we ask the question, will Ukraine be pressured to negotiate with the Russian Federation? Yes, they will be constantly from different countries. It's not even pressure, but something like: maybe this will be better for you… But ultimately, everything will depend on Ukraine, to what extent we can build rational arguments why this or that option does not suit us. on sanctions. But, on the other hand, we understand perfectly well that the logic of the Russian Federation, as soon as they get at least something on one point, this will immediately make them ask for more and consider that they have won”, – Anna Shelest summed up.

Earlier, the expert spoke about the position of the European Union regarding the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

The expert believes that Ukraine should use this for its own purposes.

China is trying not to put pressure on Russia, but to move towards it, since certain “movements” of Beijing are very unpleasant for Moscow.

This opinion is on the air Espresso was stated by the head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies, Igor Chalenko.

He noted that Beijing does not like the intensification of relations between the Russian Federation and North Korea.

“China is trying not to put pressure, but to influence the Russian Federation. Because now certain movements of China are not very pleasant to Moscow. By the way, the intensification of relations between the Russian Federation and North Korea is perceived with hostility in China. Now we can use this opportunity, to center China’s position, and not throw it towards an alliance with the Russian Federation,” Chalenko noted.

In addition, the expert noted that in order to stop hostilities in Ukraine, pressure must be put on Russia.

“The Russian Federation believes that during the second half of this year it will strengthen its position for the upcoming negotiations, including on the situation in America and on the battlefield. But we have already ruined many of their scenarios. The Russian offensive in the Kharkov region, as we see, thanks to the Ukrainian Defense Forces. In order for real negotiations to begin, there must be general pressure on the Russian Federation from different sides.

Recall that it was previously reported that The United States is preparing new sanctions against China for helping Russian aggression against Ukraine.

In addition, we previously reported that Kim Jong-un is sending engineering troops to Donbass.
