US President Donald Trump ’s push to end the war in Ukraine appears poised to hand key concessions to Russia .

In Beijing , the breakneck turn of events is raising questions about how the US peace drive will impact Chinese leader Xi Jinping 's carefully wrought partnership with Russian President Vladimir Putin and China 's precarious relations with the Trump administration.

The stakes are high for Xi , who for years has assiduously cultivated both a personal bond with Putin and his country's relations with Russia .

Analysts say Beijing may have greater confidence in its ties with Moscow .

China is worried that once Russia and the US patch up their differences and achieve some degree of peace in Ukraine , that would free the Trump administration to turn its focus to China , Yu Bin says.

Ukraine , has raised the prospect that it could try and recruit China as its own ally.
