Ukraine**Zelensky made a series of statements in a joint interview with seven Asian countries**, emphasizing that as long as the Russian army does not withdraw from Ukrainian territory, Ukraine will not cease fire and will not negotiate. He made it clear that the signing of any agreement with Russia would only lead to the conflict being "frozen", similar to the "38th parallel" model between North and South Korea.
The so-called "frozen conflict" means that the warring parties cease fire, but no peace treaty or political agreement has been reached, so the conflict can relapse at any time, similar to the current situation in North and South Korea. In the interview, Zelensky also appealed to China, expressing the hope that China will be more actively involved in the peaceful settlement of Ukraine.
"I would very much like to see China join the peace plan for Ukraine more forcefully," he said. We initially had ambassadorial-level talks in Ukraine, where I entrusted the chief of staff to meet with ambassadors from a number of countries, including China. China participated in the peace plan meeting in Saudi Arabia, and I hope that China will be able to send representatives to the next meeting. Zelensky stressed that China has significant influence over Russia in terms of respect for territorial integrity, but also mentioned that he does not want China to provide Russia with any form of military assistance, whether it is equipment or technology that could be used for military purposes.
Zelensky's appeal mainly includes three demands: first, he hopes that China will send representatives to the next peace summit in Ukraine;Second, China is expected to put pressure on Russia to withdraw its troopsFinally, it was emphasized that China does not want military equipment and technical assistance from Russia.
First of all, in response to China's request to participate in the peace summit, Zelensky pointed out that there have been two "Ukraine Peace Summits", hosted by Saudi Arabia and Ukraine. China sent its special representative for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, to the first summit hosted by Saudi Arabia, but did not attend the second summit in Malta. This may indicate that China does not fully agree with the peace plan proposed by Ukraine, because some of its elements are not in line with China's neutral position.
China's choice of participation in the summit may depend on the host country and the content of the discussion. The Jeddah summit is hosted by Saudi Arabia, and the peculiarities of China-Saudi Arabia relations may make China's participation more logicalThe Malta summit was hosted by Ukraine, and China's failure to participate may reflect its reservations about the Ukraine peace plan. If the Ukrainian side makes adjustments in the peace plan, perhaps China's chances of participating in the next summit will increase.
Secondly, in response to China's request to put pressure on Russia, Zelensky emphasized China's influence on Russia in terms of respect for territorial integrity. However, his expectations may have been too idealistic. Although China has an important say in international affairs, China has always adhered to the principle of neutrality and does not participate in internal disputes of external countries. Therefore, it is unlikely that China will "press" Russia on the Ukrainian issue. Moreover, Russia's ** may be more intense, because the Russian side was more dependent on the West before the outbreak of the conflict. [The more pressure is put on Russia, the more intense its ** becomes].
Finally, about the request that China does not want to supply Russia with military equipment and technical assistance. In fact, China does not provide military assistance to Russia, which has been recognized by the United States and the European Union. In addition, it is difficult to avoid China's normality of dual-use products and technologies, but in July this year, China has imposed export controls on high-performance drones and related components, demonstrating China's active efforts to comply with international rules and maintain regional peace.
