In recent years, there has been a constant conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and Ukraine has advocated the convening of the first Ukrainian peace summit in Switzerland. However, China refused to attend, and Zelensky was annoyed and angry, openly slandering and provoking China at the Shangri-La Dialogue.
Now, with less than two days to go until the summit, 15 countries have withdrawn. In addition, on the recent Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, Ukraine has suffered heavy losses. In the face of this critical situation, the Ukrainian government realized that the situation was not right, knew that it had said the wrong thing about China, and changed its previous attitude.
So how did Ukraine slander China at the Shangri-La Dialogue before?
In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine has always hoped that China will be on their side, so when preparing for the first peace summit in Ukraine, China was invited. But he never wanted to be rejected by China, Zelensky became angry and openly smeared China.
At the Shangri-La Dialogue, Zelensky accused China from two aspects: one is that China not only refused to participate in the summit itself, but also used its influence to incite other countries not to participate; The second is that China has been providing military assistance to Russia to help Russia win the Russia-Ukraine war.
On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China has long stated that it will always uphold an objective and fair position, always adhere to the attitude of persuading peace talks, and will not take sides in any side, and is committed to maintaining regional peace and stability.
In response to Zelensky's public accusations, Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland, responded that China's position on this time has always been fair, and it will not favor either of the two countries of Russia and Ukraine, nor will it put pressure on other countries to prevent them from attending the summit.
So as one of the peace-loving powers, why didn't China participate in this peace summit?
First of all, this peace summit is aimed at resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, however, Ukraine did not invite another protagonist - Russia. It is obvious that the outcome of this summit is meaningless and will only be biased in favor of Ukraine, because Russia is not involved and will not recognize the outcome of the summit negotiations.
Moreover, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has always been manipulated by the United States, which has carried out many military assistance for Ukraine in an attempt to seek benefits in the middle. However, the Ukrainian government has repeatedly taken matters into its own hands and attacked important Russian military regions.
For Russia, the United States also has some fears, in order to dissociate relations, plus Ukraine is no longer profitable, the United States decided to give up this chess piece. As a result, the United States refused to participate in this peace summit, and the mastermind behind the summit did not attend, and the summit lost the value of peace talks, and it did not matter whether China went or not.
Seeing that the peace summit is less than two days away, some countries are withdrawing one after another, which not only makes the Ukrainian government anxious. After realizing that something was wrong, Ukraine changed its previous attitude and softened its tone.
Recently, Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, expressed the hope that Russia would be able to participate in the "second summit". This is the first time that Ukraine has expressed its intention to talk to Russia on the Russian-Ukrainian issue.
Previously, Ukraine advocated the convening of peace summits, which excluded Russia every time, such as the "peace summit" in Davos, Switzerland, in January.
Not only that, Yermak also said that the Ukrainian government will listen to China's position and hopes that China will consider attending the summit.
The change of the Ukrainian government is not only because of the successive withdrawal of countries from the summit, but also because of the fact that Ukraine has suffered too heavy losses in the recent Russia-Ukraine war.
It is hoped that the Ukrainian Government will seize this opportunity, realize its mistake as soon as possible, adopt the mainland's proposal for peace talks with Russia, and lighten the burden on the Ukrainian people.
