China's special envoy Li Hui prepares to head to Russia Friday to meet with top Kremlin officials following its "peace" mission in Ukraine. Li met with Ukrainian officials last week.
"I'm not optimistic, for a variety of reasons, that this is going to actually result in any kind of meaningful peace proposal," Heino Klinck, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for East Asia and military attaché to China, told Fox News Digital.

Ukraine has flatly rejected any attempts to broker a deal with Russia if it involves conceding any territory, including Crimea, which Russia has illegally occupied since 2014. Additionally, Klinck argued that Kyiv is unlikely to be willing to negotiate with Moscow at all while its forces remain on Ukrainian territory.
