Zelenskyy: Putin's Russia is nothing without China
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that "China stays silent" instead of acting in favour of peace in Ukraine, although he believes that "without China, Putin's Russia is nothing".
Source: Zelenskyy in his address at the UN Security Council high-level meeting on Ukraine
Quote: "China is also represented here [at the UN Security Council]. A powerful nation on which Russia now depends completely.
If China truly wanted this war to stop, it could compel Moscow to end the invasion.
Without China, Putin's Russia is nothing.
Yet too often, China stays silent and distant instead of [being] active for peace."
Details: Zelenskyy noted that the United States is also present at the UN Security Council.
Quote: "The United States of America is present here as well – a strong nation that supports our defence.
And we've said 'yes' to every proposal from the US President for a ceasefire and talks with Russia to bring peace – but Russia always says 'no' or tries to confuse everyone so that even a ceasefire can't happen."
Background:
- Zelenskyy also said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is afraid of talks and only appears abroad to buy time for killings, pretending that he is seeking diplomacy.
- In addition, Zelenskyy said that he had shared with his US counterpart Donald Trump that he does not see a willingness on China's part to end the war in Ukraine.
