Mandate to continue the war: What is the true cause of Putin's visit to China
In addition, separate negotiations of delegations of Russia and China are planned. It should be noted that the last ruler of the Russian Federation was in China in 2024 - it was his first foreign trip after and called the presidential re -election. At the same time, negotiations with the China's Chairman Xi Jinping took place. It is significant that on the eve of the SCO summit (will be held from August 31 -September 31 - Focus) China has been vested in the US.
In particular, Bloomberg reports, Beijing has accused a "certain country" of selfishness, which creates a "threat to peace around the world. " This country "seeks to put its national interests above the interests of others," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China Liu Bin. He noted that the SOS offers an alternative to the "outdated concepts" of the Cold War Mentality, including "Clashes of Civilizations" and "Game with zero Amount".
According to him, the organization stands for the system of global management of a new type, which goes beyond the former approaches. China has declared a willingness to join the peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, Welt Am Sonntag reports, citing unnamed EU diplomats, which in turn refer to sources in the government of the PRC. According to the newspaper, Beijing is ready for this step, provided that the peacekeeping forces will be deployed on the basis of the UN mandate.
The publication emphasizes that in Brussels such an initiative has caused an ambiguous reaction. On the one hand, involvement in the peacekeeping mission of the global south, such as China, could contribute to the decision to place foreign troops to monitor the truce. On the other hand, there is a risk that China "will first and foremost be espionage in Ukraine and in the event of a conflict will be a clear pro -Russian position, not neutral," said high -ranking EU diplomat.
In addition, it is emphasized that most EU countries do not want to give potential peacekeepers to the UN mandate for various reasons. However, Italy has been insisting on this for several months, clarifies Welt Am Sonntag. Moscow is known to agree that Ukraine's security guarantees are ensured on an equal basis with the participation of China, the US, the United Kingdom and France. However, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy opposed the participation of China in ensuring security guarantees.
"We do not need guarantors that do not help Ukraine and have not helped it at the time when it really needed it. We need security guarantees only from those countries that are ready to help us," the head of state said.
Instead, in the Chinese Foreign Ministry, responding to the words of the Ukrainian leader, the mouth of the MAO Nin's spokeswoman summarized: "It is extremely important to strive for comprehensive, common and sustainable security and to promote the political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. China is ready to play a constructive role for this purpose. " That is, Beijing, as we can see, stubbornly calls the RF -solved RF Federation a full -scale war against Ukraine "Ukrainian crisis".
The leading expert of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, Ivan MS, supports the conspiracy version that Russia is currently silent on the possible meeting of Zelensky and Putin because he wants to reconcile this issue during a meeting of the Kremlin leader with Xi Jinping. "The feeling is that Putin needs to talk face to SI to understand whether China will continue to support Russia in the future.
August is traditionally not very successful in Russia's history, and this year the situation has come out that for the first time in the history of the Russian Federation the liquidation part of the national well-being fund has become smaller. Putin flies there to make sure that the PRC, which actually rescues the Russian Federation, will not take away his cash rescue circuit, " - emphasizes the analyst in conversation with focus.
Having stated that the further continuation of the war will demand from the Russian leadership of very unpopular steps, Ivan detailed everything: "Some Russian propagandists are already talking about the likely problems with the payments of pensions or" freezing "of bank accounts Russia's behavior will depend on what he will hear there.
" Noting that the official Beijing now wants to continue negotiations with the United States on trade, the expert emphasized: "Russia is a kind of stimulus for the West and gives China the opportunity to train something in relations with the United States. I do not exclude that unfortunately for Ukraine, China will probably continue to be a close -up. The player, but as a figure that can be easily exchanged. For Ukraine, says Ivan Us, Putin's visit to China is a minus story.
"I do not expect China to say Putin so that it is urgently finishing the war. However, 100% confident can not be here, since we do not know the details of the US-China-China's talking track, Washington and Beijing, I will remind you that they could not agree on August 12 and continue the same. Putin in the PRC will still be extended support, the Russian Federation will refuse to meet Ukraine at the highest - the presidential level, which insists Trump.
At the same time, the political scientist, expert of the United Ukraine Center Petro Oleshchuk, in conversation with Focus, notes the following: "Further tactics of the Russian Federation with Ukraine will largely depend on what it will give good. In general, Putin's visit and the situation in general, which is a purest. That is, they agree on Alaska something there, and then it somehow goes to naught and in the Russian media, the opposite statements begin to appear in the Russian media.
Thus, the expert emphasizes, the geopolitical diplomatic puzzle is so that the Russians seek anything to negotiate with Americans, but cannot do so without agreement by the official Beijing. "I assume that Putin goes to these in order to approve his further steps in different spectrum of issues, including the peaceful -converting case. On his own, without consenting with the PRC, all these issues are no longer resolved," - says Petro Oleshchuk.
According to the political scientist, China is not interested in the global restarting of relations on the Washington-Moscow line, but at the same time in certain statements it hints that it is not opposed to the termination of the Russian-Ukrainian war in case of receiving personal "gingerbread" from the West, primarily from the US.
