this meeting really is an effort to try to, to push the, the non align movement in the direction of ukraine. and i do think it's important that china is there, the fact that china has gone despite russia's absence. and it says to me that the chinese are carefully hedging away from their unstinting support for moscow. in this war, you mentioned china, russia is biggest trading partner. they've confirmed that a high profile representative is joining the talks. does this raise expectations on whether something of substance could actually come out of these talks? you know, i do think you'll see some generic statement of principles. unfortunately, right now the war is on the battlefield. both sides are going to keep the fight up, at least through this fighting season until the end of 2023. but i do think that it's important to have these conversations going, because ultimately we will likely get to a point where it's time to shift from the battlefield to the negotiating table. china has an important role to play here, mainly because if anybody has influence over putting it is she's in pain, we w
