But the message the Chinese leader gave Putin was a call for peace. not joining in the strategy of war
That may not be what Putin wants at this moment.
Because if Putin might choose The meeting was supposed to be a handshake of anti-Western alliances that would unite political, diplomatic and military forces to end the game in Ukraine.
But Xi Jinping has already announced to the world that he is coming to talks with Putin if he wants to open talks with President Vladimir. How likely is Ukraine’s Zelensky?
According to previous reports, Xi Jinping would likely have spoken to Selensky following meeting Putin and acknowledging the “conditions” of opening a truce to lead to negotiations. diplomatic negotiations
Xi Jinping has already paved the way for Ukraine. with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Kang raised his voice to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro. Cooleba, the same day China released the official news that Xi Jinping will visit Moscow on March 20-22.
To create a picture of a stand in the middle of the conflict in Ukraine.
But, of course, the topic of talks between Putin and key visitor Xi Jinping will certainly include other issues that reflect the solidarity between Beijing and Moscow.
Hence, there was news in advance that the joint statement of the two leaders would mark the achievement of a “new era” in relations between the two countries.
to emphasize The “relationship without limits” appeared in their more than 5,000-word joint statement in February last year in Beijing.
At the time, Putin flew to Xi Jinping to attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics hosted in China.
It was a meeting two weeks before Putin sent Russian troops to invade Ukraine.
There has to be some progress in this visit to make both parties look good.
The Kremlin has already released news that the two leaders will discuss “Comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation”
It may sound like an old jargon that is used quite a lot.
But in the circles of superpower diplomacy, the word “Comprehensive strategic partnership” has become a common statement for both the West and Russia.
The village language is “What do you want me to tell you!”
But it will be interesting to see if there will be news from the West that China is considering sending weapons to Russia to fight in Ukraine.
Or will it come out in a peace language to distract attention from weapons and war?
Foreign ministry spokesman Hua Chunying simply hinted that the trip would be a trip. “For Friendship and Peace”
The Chinese spokesman reiterated that “On the basis of having no friends no confrontation and no third party targeting China and Russia have promoted more democracy in international relations.”
It also added that China will maintain It said it had “a neutral and fair stance” on the war in Ukraine and “played a constructive role in promoting peace dialogue”.
It is therefore interesting that in the joint statement to be issued at the end of the visit to Moscow How many sentences Xi and Putin would use on the words “peace” and “war”?
Although the West has rejected China’s previous 12 peace proposals, But Ukraine’s Zelensky is hopeful.
Last February, Zelensky said he wanted to meet Color. Jinping to discuss Beijing’s peace proposal
and also stressed that “I really want to believe. that China will not send arms to Russia.”
It means that the Ukrainian leader wants to say that he listened to both the American and Chinese side of this matter to weigh the truth.
Because previously US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken Alleged that China was considering sending weapons to help Russia wage war in Ukraine.
China has denied Says that arms were not supplied to any side in the Ukrainian war.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Says Zelensky Is Ready To Talk With Xi Jinping on the phone
America dared not come out once morest the dialogue between the leaders of China and Ukraine.
A spokesman for the US National Security Council said it would be “very nice if the two talk.”
John Kirby says America already encourages communication.
The dialogue between China’s foreign minister and Ukraine’s foreign minister includes a call from Beijing to start peace talks. “as soon as possible”
Qin Kang told Couleba that beijing hope “All sides will keep the peace. use restraint Start peace talks as soon as possible. and return to the termination of politics”
Kuleba told the Chinese side that Ukraine wanted to emphasize the importance of the “principles of territorial integrity” and the “peace formula to stop aggression and restore peace in Ukraine”, which Zelensky had taken as the basis for the upcoming talks. always
Xi Jinping must have realized that to persuade Putin and Zelensky to sit down together. (Like China acting as an intermediary for Iran and Saudi Arabia) is extremely difficult.
But if the Chinese leaders can pave the way for even the slightest atmosphere of readiness to negotiate, it can be regarded as a “Overcoming a major obstacle” or a breakthrough that is quite meaningful.
as some diplomats in Asia have analysed.
that is for color Even attempting to pitch himself as a stand-in between Moscow and Kiev will be challenging and risky for Jinping.
But Xi Jinping would have assessed that “China doesn’t lose anything even if it makes no progress. There’s only one thing to be gained…if both sides take small steps back, it can be considered a success.”
Because China can claim to be a peacemaker while the United States continues its war!
There’s no doubt who looks good together.
