The Ukraine Peace Summit is over, and Zelensky was slapped in the face!
China didn't go, Biden didn't go, and of the more than 90 countries that participated in the meeting, 35 of them were still ordinary representatives, and Zelensky's face was ugly.
The British media poured cold water: "The peace summit in Ukraine is disappointing!"
Zelensky knows this. Therefore, as soon as the summit ended, Zelensky's attitude turned around again, shouting at China from the air, hoping to see China make suggestions on the issue of peace in Ukraine. He added: "Ukraine has never said that China is an enemy, and hopes that China can become a friend of Ukraine." ”
However, at the recent Shangri-La Dialogue, he clearly threatened China, saying that he would cooperate with the Philippines and put pressure on China on the South China Sea issue, and he also had a very happy conversation with Marcos Jr.
Such a "friend" who is good at changing faces, China does not dare to make friends.
The reason why Zelensky is in a hurry to make a statement to China is because he hit the southern wall at the peace summit.
A peace summit, although it did not completely wake up Zelensky, at least let him know the weight of Ukraine in the international community.
First of all, Biden did not participate, which is enough to show that Ukraine is not taken seriously. Moreover, the American representatives sent by the United States left in a hurry after only a few hours, and then Japan, Germany, and others also left their seats one after another.
Although the United States was absent, the meeting had to continue, but Zelensky did not expect that during the meeting, Ukraine did not avoid the fate of being condemned, the reason is, of course, that Russia was not invited.
It can be seen that the eyes of the international people are clear, and everyone generally believes that if they want to solve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but do not invite Russia, this summit should not be held in the first place.
Finally, when it came to signing the joint communiqué, many countries were unwilling to sign the joint communiqué, including Brazil, the United Arab Emirates and other BRICS countries, and even Armenia, which has a very poor relationship with Russia, refused to sign it.
Why not sign up? Just because of this absurd joint communique, none of them specifically talked about the Russian-Ukrainian peace plan, all of them were about nuclear weapons, the release of prisoners of war and other topics.
This is not a conflict-resolution attitude, nor is it a situation that the international community wants to see.
After staying up until the meeting, Zelensky was lonely, and finally remembered the importance of China.
China is not a party to the case, but it has been promoting peace talks and has come up with a very reasonable plan.
Previously, China proposed three elements of peace: recognition by Russia and Ukraine, equal participation of all parties, and open discussion of all peace plans, all of which are indispensable, and if Ukraine wavers, then the peace talks will break down at any time.
It is undeniable that it is difficult to truly resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the biggest obstacle is, of course, the United States.
If Russia and Ukraine cease war, the United States will lose its interests, so the United States does not want a truce between Russia and Ukraine, which is why Biden is reluctant to participate in the Ukraine peace summit.
Recently, U.S. officials have deliberately distorted the nature of the Ukraine peace summit, saying that the peace summit is not to resolve the conflict, but to address the harm suffered by Ukraine in the war.
She accused the Russian army's missiles and drones of causing great harm to Ukraine, accused Russia of not having the sincerity to negotiate peace, and said Putin was calling for surrender, not negotiations.
However, these arguments are still repeated in old words, and some of them, repeated over and over again, will not be interesting, and will only continue to expose the ugly face of the United States, and the gains outweigh the losses.
In addition, the US Permanent Representative to the UN claimed: "The peace summit is not a formal negotiation, and a negotiated end to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict requires the participation of both Russia and Ukraine." ”
This involves the Russian-Ukrainian negotiation plan.
Putin has already given conditions that as long as Ukraine withdraws its troops from the "four eastern oblasts" and draws a clear line with NATO, the Russian army can immediately cease fire.
But this negotiation plan was rejected by the United States and Ukraine.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said in an interview that Russia has not discussed the negotiation plan with the United States.
And Ukraine refuses to compromise. Zelensky refuted Putin's conditions, saying that if Russia "withdraws its troops from the legitimate territory of Ukraine", then negotiations can begin immediately.
But does it work if you don't compromise? Judging from the current situation, Russia has the upper hand, and it will be difficult for Ukraine to win the counteroffensive in the hands of Russia. Now Ukraine is dragging its feet and doesn't want to negotiate, it just wants to get back its lost territory, but it hasn't been saved on the battlefield, and it still expects to get it back at the negotiating table?
Now, apart from seeking help from China, Zelensky has no other options.
More than 100 countries have responded to the "six-point consensus" reached by China and Brazil, hoping to contribute to the Russia-Ukraine negotiations.
This is the last chance that Zelensky can seize, and I hope he can maintain this hard-won sobriety and return the people of Russia and Ukraine to a peaceful life.
