Zelenskyy accuses China of helping Russia sabotage peace summit

Ukrainian president unleashes on Beijing, saying it’s helping Moscow threaten countries with higher food and fuel prices to convince them not to attend June 15-16 meeting.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hit out at China, accusing the country of helping Russia derail a peace summit this month in Switzerland.

“Russia, using Chinese influence on the region, using Chinese diplomats also, does everything to disrupt the peace summit,” Zelenskyy said Sunday during a press conference after delivering an address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

In a rare public rebuke of China — after years of careful attempts to court Beijing and peel it away from its “no limits” friendship with Russia — Zelenskyy’s frustration appeared to boil over in Singapore. He said Ukraine had evidence that China was assisting Moscow’s war efforts, despite the fact that Chinese President Xi Jinping had promised him in a phone call a year ago that Beijing would not get involved.

Is it an accusation? Everyone has been talking about it for a while

If there’s been any obstacle to peace it’s been the US

Wew, it’s rare for leaders to directly call out China like this, but I like it!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In a rare public rebuke of China — after years of careful attempts to court Beijing and peel it away from its “no limits” friendship with Russia — Zelenskyy’s frustration appeared to boil over in Singapore.

He said Ukraine had evidence that China was assisting Moscow’s war efforts, despite the fact that Chinese President Xi Jinping had promised him in a phone call a year ago that Beijing would not get involved.

It comes after the second most senior figure in the U.S. State Department, Kurt Campbell, told media outlets including POLITICO last week: “It is fair to say that China’s general goal has been not only to support Russia — in our view, to the hilt — but to downplay that publicly and try to maintain normal diplomatic and commercial ties with Europe.”

Earlier, during his public remarks, Zelenskyy said it was important for as many of the world’s leaders as possible to travel to Switzerland so that “the global majority” can agree “on the common understandings and steps” to help end the war in Ukraine, now in its third year after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

Zelenskyy held a series of meetings in Singapore, including with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, members of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, Timor-Leste’s President José Ramos-Horta and Indonesia’s President-elect Prabowo Subianto.

“Time is running out, and the children are growing up in their Putin-land, where they are taught to hate their homeland, and are lied to, being told they have no families while their loved ones wait for them at home in Ukraine,” the Ukrainian president said on stage in Singapore, addressing the audience in English.
