According to recent media reports, at the invitation of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Ukraine Foreign Minister Kuleba visited China from 23 to 26, which is the first visit to China by a Ukraine foreign minister in two years since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the mainland foreign minister did not invite Kuleba to visit China, Ukraine can only ask China for help in the current situation.

Why? The current situation is very unfavorable for Ukraine.
On the one hand, Biden announced that he would withdraw from the election and support Harris to participate in the 2024 United States election, and with Trump's current approval rating, it seems that the United States election can be declared over early.
And Trump has always advocated stopping aid to Ukraine, because Trump's core target is China, and the core strategy is to "unite Russia to resist China".
On the other hand, Zelensky appointed Syrsky as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, and it was once revealed that Syrsky had no intention of continuing to confront the Russian army, and was even ready to surrender to the Russian army. Because Syrsky knows very well that with the strength of the Ukrainian army, even with the support of the United States intelligence system and the provision of weapons and equipment by many European countries, it will still not be able to defeat Russia.

Especially after Biden announced his withdrawal from the election, it was enough to make the Kiev top level at a loss and panicked, so the Ukraine foreign minister chose to quickly visit China for help after receiving China's invitation.
Ukraine know very well that neither the United States nor the EU can save Ukraine in the matter of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and only China can save Ukraine, because China can influence Russia to a certain extent.
Recently, Zelensky said in an interview with British media: "If the plan is fully ready, if Russia is willing to discuss this plan, then we will be willing to negotiate with Russia representatives with partners."

Former United Kingdom Prime Minister Johnson even asked Ukraine to give up Donbass and Crimea in order to test the reaction of the United States and the West and Russia.
Ukraine seems to have recognized the situation and is ready to start a new round of negotiations with Russia.
Many people want to ask if China can save Ukraine? The answer is yes, but China will not directly make demands on Russia, but through peace talks to make Russia and Ukraine agree, just like Saudi Arabia and Iran, Fatah and Hamas reconciled, hold peace talks and sign relevant agreements in China.
The reason why Ukraine Foreign Minister Kuleba was invited to visit China is to make Ukraine correct its attitude and recognize the current situation.
If Ukraine does not de-Russia and remains neutral, Ukraine will still be an industrial power and a food power in Europe, and its economic development will not necessarily lag behind Russia.
To sum up, only Ukraine itself can really save Ukraine, and Ukraine must give China an explanation on the Madasich incident.
In 2016, China Tianjiao Airlines acquired Madasic for $4.5 billion to acquire a 56% stake and provided Madasic with a low-interest loan of $250 million.

As a result, on August 31, 2020, the Anti-Monopoly Committee of Ukraine rejected the acquisition of Madasich and directly listed it as a state-owned enterprise strictly prohibited from selling, which can be regarded as a "thorn" in the heart of China and Ukraine.
Now China's aerospace strength has been greatly improved, in addition to the successful development of the C919 civil airliner, China's manned lunar landing plan is getting closer and closer, even if Ukraine gives Madasic to China, the mainland may not accept.
Therefore, in addition to correcting its attitude on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukraine also needs to correct its attitude on the Sino-Ukrainian issue.
After all, Zelensky made disrespectful remarks about China at the "incense meeting" and made it clear that he supported the Philippines in the game between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
If Ukraine does not correct its attitude, then the development of the entire country may enter a "garbage time", and in the end what awaits Ukraine may only be a complete decline.
