preface
From 2022 to 2024, two years may not be a long time, but for the people of Russia and Ukraine, it is an extremely painful two years.
However, just recently, things between Russia and Ukraine have finally taken a turn for the better, and some people even said that they have seen the harbingers of a finale.
The reason is that after Ukraine's foreign minister came to the mainland, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky also had a showdown with the outside world, saying that he wanted to end the war quickly.
And what will Russia's side respond to the movements of the Ukraine side? Is this protracted conflict really coming to an end?
Foreign Minister of Ukraine visited China
On July 23, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba was invited to visit the mainland and is expected to stay for three days from the 23rd to the 26th.
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland, gave a brief briefing on the matter, saying that during Kuleba's visit to China, the minister of foreign affairs of the mainland met and held talks.
With regard to the problems between Ukraine and Russia, the mainland has always believed that it is necessary to find a way to peacefully resolve the existing disputes and problems through dialogue.
This time, too, China will remain committed to peaceful dialogue on the issue of advancing China-Ukraine cooperation and between Ukraine and Russia.
Of course, the mainland will also gather together to find concrete and feasible solutions to this problem as the consensus of the international community in this regard.
Although this is also the first visit by the Ukraine side to China after the outbreak of problems between Russia and Ukraine, the effect is immediate.
On the first day of Kuleba's arrival on the mainland, the Ukraine Embassy in China posted a video on its official account about Kuleba's recorded mainland citizens.
Perhaps in Kuleba's eyes, the Chinese people who can live a peaceful and stable life, everyone's smile comes from the heart, and they are so happy.
It is precisely for this reason that the important purpose of Kuleba's visit to China this time is to explore how to restore peace, strengthen bilateral dialogue, and expand trade cooperation.
Although the time of stay on the mainland this time is limited, it can be seen that there are many things that Kuleba wants to talk about, and the most important thing is how to restore peace.
Prior to this, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky had publicly stated that only a world power could successfully end this war.
And after saying this, Zelensky also put forward two examples, the first is the United States, and the second is the mainland.
Therefore, some experts have analyzed that Ukraine is now more and more afraid to trust the United States and Western countries, so they urgently need to find new supportive forces.
And although the mainland has always remained neutral on this matter and is committed to resolving the final issue through peaceful dialogue, it is also the best option.
The above content is referenced from the article "First Visit to China!" published by Huanqiu.com on July 24, 2024. Ukraine Foreign Minister Kuleba arrived in China".
And during Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba's visit to China, Zelensky also began to change his attitude, frequently publicly saying that he wanted to end the war as soon as possible.
So, what exactly does Zelensky think in his heart? What did he do to do that?
Zelensky's attitude has changed
In fact, as early as July 19, Zelensky had already spoken on the phone with United States presidential candidate Trump, and the content of the call was also about the theme of "peace".
After the end of the call, they also posted on their social platforms to confirm, and the content was also very surprising.
As United States's former president and one of the candidates in this election, Trump has promised to "end" the farce if he can return to the White House.
But it is frustrating that although Trump has used many modifiers to express his determination to end the war, he has not said anything concrete and feasible.
Therefore, many people believe that this is actually Trump's order to establish his own personality so that he can better win the election.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Trump really has such ideas and plans, but it may not be as difficult as imagined to end it in a short time.
And Zelensky also posted on his social platform that he will discuss with Trump in detail how to achieve peace in the next face-to-face meeting.
The above content is based on a report by Beijing Daily on July 20, 2024 about "After the call, Trump and Zelensky spoke separately".
It is not difficult to see from here that although there is no concrete and feasible way and method, Zelensky did find two countries that he thought could end the war for help, as he said.
In addition, Zelensky also said on July 23 when receiving the Vatican Secretary of State, who arrived in Kyiv for a visit, that the war should be ended as soon as possible.
You know, the Vatican's visit to Ukraine is a very strong signal, and the Vatican participated in the previous peace summit held in Ukraine.
Earlier, Zelensky said in an interview with the media that he did not rule out the possibility of peace talks with Russia, even if its representative was Putin.
There is something intriguing about this statement, as if the Ukraine side is not targeting Russia.
Therefore, for some of Zelensky's recent developments and voices, Russia still said that there are no prerequisites for the development of the situation in Ukraine in a peaceful direction.
The above content is based on a report on "Zelensky: 'The war should end as soon as possible'" on July 25, 2024
In fact, the problem between Russia and Ukraine has developed to the present situation, and it is no longer a question of right and wrong, and the attitude and efforts of both sides are needed to end it.
So, how did Russia react to Zelensky's voice and attitude? Will Russia and Ukraine be able to return to the negotiating table?
The reaction from the side of Russia
In fact, whether it is a phone call between Zelensky and the presidential candidate of United States, or the foreign minister of Ukraine visiting the mainland to China, whether Russia and Ukraine can sit at the negotiating table depends on the attitude of both sides.
In response to Zelensky's statement about the possibility of negotiations, Russia's presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov responded that some specific actions need to be waited for.
It can be said that Russia's response is quite pertinent, and the problems pointed out are also to the point, and it is not impossible to negotiate peace, but it needs to look at concrete actions.
In fact, for the end of the conflict, everyone wants to make it happen as soon as possible, especially the frightened soldiers on the front line.
On the 21st, the website of the Ministry of Defense of Russia published a video in which the Russia side airdropped leaflets to the target area of Ukraine.
And after seeing these leaflets, some Ukraine soldiers only waved their hands at the Russia drone, maybe this is what the people want.
The above content is referenced from Shangguan News on July 24, 2024 on "Zelensky is willing to negotiate with Putin, can Russia and Ukraine return to the negotiating table?" ".
epilogue
Judging from the attitudes and willingness of Russia and Ukraine at present, it may really be possible to sit down and resolve the issue through dialogue in the near future, as proposed by the mainland.
And this is also the ultimate purpose of the Ukraine Foreign Minister's visit to China, which also confirms a problem from the other side, that is, the mainland's growing influence in the international community.
It is believed that in the future, more and more regions will develop peacefully and prosperously under the influence of the mainland's ideas and efforts, so as to maintain world peace.
So, do you think Russia and Ukraine can return to the negotiating table?
