Recently, around the Ukraine crisis, U.S. President Trump said that he may speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in recent days. At the same time, he also said that the US special envoy for Russia and Ukraine will visit Ukraine "soon".
Zelensky also said recently that he will meet with US Vice President Vance on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference this week, and at the same time, the Ukrainian side is making arrangements for his "dialogue and meeting with Trump".

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from China Central Radio and Television Global News Broadcasting that Ukraine's desire to carry out high-level dialogue with the United States is very urgent, but the communication between the two sides will certainly not be reciprocal.
The high-level dialogue between the United States and Ukraine is more about the Ukrainian side wanting to express its relevant demands.
However, judging from the signals released by the US side, the US side has its own plan and hopes that Ukraine will fully accept its own plan to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, so this is not an equal exchange.
The core of the US side wanting to lead the future negotiation process is what Trump said, that the US wants to receive adequate compensation, and that the aid to Ukraine is not gratuitous, but that it still needs to strive for greater political and economic interests for the United States.
The United States is putting pressure on Ukraine to accept the American proposal, and if Ukraine does not accept it, it may affect follow-up assistance and interaction between heads of state.
There have also been new developments in Russian-US relations recently.
On the 11th local time, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov held a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Russia Tracy in Moscow.
In addition, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova recently said that the candidate for the new Russian ambassador to the United States has been decided, but it has not yet been confirmed by the US side.

Sun Zhuangzhi believes that if the United States supports the new ambassador confirmed by the Russian side, it will be of positive significance for resolving the Ukrainian crisis and easing Russian-US relations.
Now Russia's diplomatic relations with the United States are not normal. As a result, Russia has not sent an ambassador to the United States since the end of the term of office of the then ambassador to the United States, Antonov, in October last year. Now Russia is raising such a question again, in fact, to send a clear message to the US side, hoping that Trump can change the policy towards Russia during the previous Biden era and the two sides will have a dialogue on an equal footing.
If the United States agrees with Russia to send an ambassador and creates better conditions for future dialogue, it will be beneficial to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the future direction of Russian-American relations.
This incident also shows that the Russian side attaches great importance to the restoration of normal relations with the United States. But it remains to be seen whether there will be a positive response from the United States.
