Leaks so far of a “peace plan” are total non starters. Most cabinet picks only smarts are how to be corrupt, and there is significant doubt about Trump’s “Peace on first day of office”.

China can play a direct role with Ukraine. Chinese/global south peace keepers on Ukrainian side would be acceptable to Russia. China can outbid Blackrock on reconstruction vs fire sale privatization of Ukrainian side. Can offer more neutral supervision of referendums to join Russia, and protection of non-nazi normalization Ukrainian national candidates.
