Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused China of assisting Russia in sabotaging a planned peace summit in Switzerland. Zelensky believes China is pressuring other countries not to participate in the negotiations aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine. The summit is scheduled for mid-June and aims to bring comprehensive and lasting peace to the region. Despite China's rejection of participation, 106 countries and organizations have confirmed their attendance.
In addition to his accusations against China, Zelensky has expressed concerns about potential negative implications if a peace deal imposed by Donald Trump were unfavorable to Ukraine. He continues to seek international support for the peace summit amidst ongoing threats from Russia.
Zelensky is also promoting trade cooperation with Ukraine in Singapore, highlighting the resilience of the Ukrainian economy during the war. He stresses the importance of global cooperation to counter Russian aggression and calls for diplomatic isolation of Russia. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian armed forces report record losses on the Russian side, prompting discussions on providing modern defense systems like the Patriot to Ukraine. Amidst these developments, China emphasizes its neutrality in the conflict and accuses the US of stoking tensions in the region, adding to the complex diplomatic dynamics at the security conference in Singapore.
