According to the Observer, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has dragged on so far, and at the request of Zelensky, the president of the Swiss Confederation, Amhede, announced that the country will be responsible for hosting this "peace summit" on Ukraine on June 15-16. As early as the beginning of the meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that Russia will not participate in the summit, let alone discuss the so-called peace plan. However, according to Zelensky's logic, attracting a wide range of international participants is also the value of this peace summit, and it can also pave the way for the peace process in Ukraine. Among them, the United States, which has been assisting Ukraine for a long time, has naturally become an important invitation from Zelensky, but the White House also said that during the Swiss summit, due to scheduling conflicts, US President Biden and Vice President Harris will not attend the meeting.
After the United States and Russia made it clear that they would not attend the meeting, whether China will participate in the Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland has also become the focus of attention of all parties. At that time, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said in her response that China has always adhered to an objective and fair position on the issue of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, insisted on promoting peace talks, and supported the timely convening of an international peace conference recognized by Russia and Ukraine with equal participation by all parties. It can be seen that this statement did not give a direct reply, mainly reiterating China's consistent position on the Ukraine crisis, but the spokesman pointed out that China supports the development of a peace conference recognized by both Russia and Ukraine, and now Russia has chosen not to participate, in fact, this is a disguised rejection of this peace summit without Russia.
It is worth noting that at the latest regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the spokesman has made it very clear, indicating that this itinerary will basically not take shape. In response, Mao Ning bluntly said that there is still a clear gap between the arrangements for the meeting and China's requirements and the general expectations of the international community, so it will be difficult for China to participate in the meeting, and has conveyed China's concerns and considerations to relevant parties, and at the same time, China will continue to make efforts for a peaceful resolution of the crisis. It can be seen that China should not participate in the Ukraine peace conference held in Switzerland, and it seems that both China and the United States have chosen not to participate, and Zelensky was originally ready to use this summit to win over other countries, put pressure on Russia, and seek more political benefits at the meeting, but now this plan is doomed to fail.
At the press conference, Zelensky directly called out the United States, urging Biden to attend the summit in Switzerland, and said that if Biden did not come, Putin would give him a standing ovation. There are even Ukrainian politicians who scolded Biden for not participating in the Ukraine Peace Conference as "Putin's stooge" and deliberately provoking the US government. In addition to the fierce reaction to Biden's non-participation, Zelensky's office also instructed Ukrainian officials to criticize China and the United States for their reluctance to attend the meeting, but this move was worried by other officials in Ukraine, who believe that this move will seriously damage the relationship between Ukraine and the United States, and will completely anger the United States, which is a very dangerous move for Ukraine, and they do not want to affect the relationship between the two countries because of this matter.
The current "cold" peace conference on the Ukraine issue held in Switzerland also reflects Ukraine's situation to a certain extent, especially Zelensky's style of doing things, which has long caused dissatisfaction in the Western community. However, in the final analysis, this is still the contradiction between Ukraine and the United States and the West, and now Zelensky has pulled China in and deliberately pointed the finger at China, obviously for other purposes. But Zelensky's attempt will not succeed. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China's efforts to politically resolve the Ukraine crisis have been witnessed by the international community. What Ukraine needs here is that China demands that the relevant peace conference be fair and impartial and not aimed at any party, but it is clear that Ukraine has not done so, and it is reasonable to choose not to participate in the peace conference, and Ukraine is not allowed to comment on it.
