Before setting off to meet Putin, Zelenskyy suddenly told the world that he had fulfilled his commitment to China.
According to the predetermined plan, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has already set off for Turkey, waiting for Putin in Istanbul. He also held a press conference, claiming that he had fulfilled his commitment to China and had not militarily attacked Russian territory during Russia's Victory Day parade. Zelenskyy also said that his proposed 30-day ceasefire initiative had received support from China and other countries.
No one knows what Zelenskyy's intention was in announcing this information. Previously, it was him who smeared Sino-Russian cooperation and constantly hinted at China. Now, it is also him who talks about Ukraine fulfilling its commitments and receiving support from China.
Although Zelenskyy has arrived in Turkey, whether he can meet with Putin remains uncertain. Russia has indeed sent a delegation, but the leader is Foreign Minister Lavrov.
Zelenskyy has previously stated that he would only meet with Putin and no one else. However, Russia clearly does not care about this. As long as they believe that now is not the time for a resumption of dialogue between the heads of state of Ukraine and Russia, Zelenskyy will inevitably be "stood up."
Zelenskyy previously called on Trump, hoping he could facilitate his meeting with Putin. Now mentioning China, there is no excluding this possibility.
