The Russian War is China's responsibility: How will the event be answered to Beijing's attempts to break the world of peace

"Russia, using Chinese influence in the region, also using Chinese diplomats, does everything to disrupt a peaceful summit," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said recently at the Shangri-La Defense Forum in Singapore at the Singapore Defense Forum. In response, the official Beijing was not silent, emphasizing that it remains neutral and believes that without Russia's participation, negotiations will be ineffective.

In the fields of the Asian Security Conference in Singapore Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the leader of Philippine Ferdinand Marcos. He talked about bilateral relations and peace in Ukraine. "I am grateful to you, Mr. President for taking part in the Peace Summit. This is a very strong signal," said Ukrainian President Philippine. The theme of Ukraine in the East sounds not clear enough.

The countries of the region, as well as the countries of the Global South, are less involved in peace processes in Ukraine and containment of the Russian Federation, in addition to the support of countries such as Russia or China there. For various reasons, but above all economic ones. Therefore, you need to talk to each country personally.

Although the Philippines are not such, this country knows what is the aggression of a neighboring state-has a long-standing controversy over territories in the South Chinese Sea, which has recently grown into aggressive clashes with China, but dialogue is important.

Especially in the context that Ukraine seeks to sign a security agreement with the United States, and Washington, in accordance with a treaty signed with the Philippines earlier, undertakes to stand up for this island state if it is attacked. It is in Singapore that Zelensky also mentions the threat from China, which, in his opinion, will not participate in the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15-16, and does not join other countries.

It is already known that Saudi Arabia refused to participate in the summit. It happened after the trip of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of this country to China. It became known from diplomatic sources in the capital of Riyadh country, writes Bild. The reason for the government's decision is that Russia will not participate in the summit. That is, this step can be considered to support China. However, there was no official confirmation of this decision.

Although the sources say that Zelensky's visit, who planned to go to Jedda with a short visit, during which to meet with the hereditary prince Muhammad Bin Salman, the actual ruler of the monarchy, and other high -ranking officials, which is why it did not happen. China's representative to Switzerland for peace is also not going. Official explanation - China was not fulfilled. The most important of which is to invite to the Russian Federation.

This is known from the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Mao Nin. "Beijing has repeatedly emphasized that a peaceful summit should contain three important elements: in order for it to be acceptable to both the Russian and the Ukrainian side to be equal to the presence In the conference, because we believe that this meeting does not carry three elements, "she said.

And it was not necessary to expect any other reaction from China, according to the president of the Liberal Democratic League of Ukraine Arthur Kharitonov. "China is a country that supports Russia. It is a country that has verified and sponsored a full -scale invasion. We remember recent reports on the supply of electronics for missiles and long -range weapons Senior ally of Russia, which contributes to the continuation of the war, - says in a comment to the focus the expert.

The idea of ​​China, which the Russian Federation directly supports is to hold the so -called Ukrainian peace conference with the participation of the Russian Federation on Chinese conditions. Maybe in Beijing. "Therefore, the sharp statements of President Zelensky on Shangri-la in Singapore at time. In the Eastern region there is no frantic support for China.

In fact, such statements of the Ukrainian President were allowed us to engage much more support than before," Arthur Kharitonov continues. The conversation with the Philippine Marcos was important-the country is now undergoing Chinese provocations, the situation is tense. For themselves, to organize further formats of negotiations, to create the illusion that Ukraine does not support Ukraine. China thinks it pressure on all Asia countries that have a dependence on it.

It is about Asia countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia. In fact, some of them try to balance, stating that neither the Russian Federation nor China is not friends. "This cohort is also an Eastern Timor, with the president of unprecedented negotiations in Zelensky. Malaysia. That is, all Southeast Asia is theoretically under the influence of China," the expert adds. And China has an impact on the global south, first of all, Africa and Latin America.

For these countries, China's position is also important. But they also seek to be a subject, not an object of politics in the region, so they meet with representatives of Ukraine at the highest level. "That is, the circle is very wide. I am not sure what the President Zelensky was in mind when he spoke of specific countries. I think he had his own, more obvious, the list is not only Saudi Arabia, but also Brazil, India and India and Steam, "Kharitonov sums up.

Earlier it was said that Brazil and India were considering the idea of ​​sending the global summit of younger officials to the global summit. But, returning to the words of Zelensky, the expert of the Foreign Policy Council "Ukrainian Prism" Alexander Kraev believes that Zelensky, criticizing China, expresses the opinion of not only Ukraine but also the event. Like, after all the negotiations, Beijing did not change the position, so further sanctions should be expected.

"The Ukrainian President has demonstrated that the event understands what China is doing. Despite economic agreements, a common security space, China will never be on the side of Ukraine, he tries to neutralize, splash all diplomatic formats that Ukraine and West puts forward. And if Western leaders They do not dare to speak aloud, Ukraine has a mapping blanche, because it suffers from Russian aggression, "he explains.

Recall that in April-May there were intensive negotiations of EU leaders, individual European countries and the US with China. During such negotiations, the requirements for the curtailment of the Russian war in Ukraine were made to Xi Jinping. They were supported by economic, political and military sanctions. But the Chinese went on a counterattack, stimulating the Russian Federation to strengthen the escalation on the front, to step on the Kharkiv region.

And this is aimed at not giving Ukraine a chance to finish the war on its terms, and to organize its so -called peace conference, perhaps in Beijing. It was agreed on her during the visit of the head of Russian diplomacy by Sergei Lavrov to Beijing in April 2024. Then China and Russia intensified their rapprochement and, in particular, decided to produce a coordinated position on how the future platform for the end of the war should look like.

That is, China does not want to give up negotiations, but its vision is the only and priority for him. Experts say that Ukraine should now turn this page of relations with China, which is characteristic of persuasion and motivation of peace, and focus on three summits: "Great Seven" (G7) in Italy, Ukrainian peace in Switzerland and NATO's anniversary. "The G7 and NATO decision will be directly related to the decision made by the PRC.
