Observation Net, October 28th report, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said during his meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister Wouter in the Netherlands that Ukraine very much hopes China will play a role in the Russia-Ukraine war, put pressure on Russia to end the war, rather than "helping Russia continue the war."

He then changed his tone, claiming that Ukraine has no way to pressure China and hinted that he hopes Trump would pressure China, prompting China to reduce its energy cooperation with Russia, thereby weakening Russia's combat power.

He also claimed that India has reduced its oil imports from Russia, obviously hoping that the United States would make China comply like India on the issue of Russian energy.

Zelenskyy

Zelenskyy's so-called "China is helping Russia maintain the war" is completely defamatory.

Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China has never provided lethal weapons to Russia, nor has it participated in any form of military aid.

Normal cooperation between China and Russia fully complies with the law and the rules of the United Nations, but has been twisted into so-called "war support".

In contrast, the United States and NATO countries have delivered a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and logistical support to Ukraine, directly changing the battlefield situation.

China has always advocated for a political solution to the crisis, advocated for a ceasefire and an end to the war, proposed a twelve-point peace plan, and has continuously carried out diplomatic mediation. It is one of the few major countries that still insist on promoting peace and dialogue internationally.

Zelenskyy knows that China has not militarily supported Russia, yet repeatedly uses media occasions to spread "China helps Russia", which is essentially trying to pressure China and manipulate international public opinion in order to shift the unfavorable situation he faces on the battlefield.

This kind of bullying diplomacy will not win Chinese support, will damage its own image, and is also unhelpful for peace.

Flag of Russia and China

Zelenskyy also naively hopes that Trump can pressure China, trying to change China's policy towards Russia through the hand of the United States. This is equally laughable.

Recently, under pressure from the United States, India has begun to stop energy cooperation with Russia. This submission stems from India's high dependence on the Western settlement system, and also exposes the fragility of its so-called strategic autonomy.

While China's energy cooperation with Russia is based on long-term mutual trust and structural complementarity, and China has a strong financial system to support, it has the ability to avoid the US dollar clearing system.

More importantly, China will not adjust its principle position due to the pressure of a certain country.

Zelenskyy's bet on Trump being able to force China to yield is an unrealistic diplomatic fantasy without real support.

China has never been a country that will back down due to public opinion coercion, diplomatic isolation, or trade threats, and it is impossible to accept the logic of sacrificing national interests for false peace.

Russia-Ukraine conflict

The ones who have kept the war going are never China, but Western countries. China has been trying to promote ceasefire negotiations, calling on all parties to remain restrained, and providing humanitarian aid and food support.

China has repeatedly sent envoys to shuttle between Moscow, Kyiv, and European countries, proposing practical and feasible diplomatic proposals, and emphasizing that Ukraine should not become a battlefield of geopolitical confrontation.

In contrast, the United States and the European Union have spared no effort in military assistance, constantly escalating the intensity of the conflict in terms of intelligence sharing, weapon upgrades, and long-range strikes, attempting to let Ukraine fight until the last soldier. The sinister intention behind this hypocritical facade is the real war instigator.

Instead of promoting peace, the West continues to bully China, trying to portray the peace advocate as the one taking the blame for the war.

Some countries try to solve their strategic failures in the Ukraine issue by bullying China, which not only does not help improve the situation, but also deepens the rift.

China is not the cause of Ukraine's dilemma, and it is impossible to become a tool for the West to clean up the mess.

If Ukraine and the West truly want to end the war, they should reflect seriously on their own strategic miscalculations, the sincerity of peace, and the impulse for expansion, instead of blaming China.
