As soon as the SCO summit ended, Ukraine came out with a statement! Ukraine claimed that the SCO summit did not mention the Russia-Ukraine war, which is a major diplomatic failure of Russia! On September 1st, according to foreign media reports, at the end of the SCO summit, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry issued a statement claiming that the main outcome document of the SCO summit, the Tianjin Declaration, did not mention the war that Russia has waged against Ukraine, which is "very intriguing." At the same time, the Tianjin Declaration did mention a series of other wars and terrorist attacks around the world, this contrast is "astonishing."
Ukraine said that the omission of the war between Russia and Ukraine in the declaration of the SCO summit indicates that Moscow's diplomatic efforts have failed, and Moscow has failed to unify the positions of many member states into a common denominator that satisfies Russia. Obviously, the fact that the SCO summit did not mention the Russia-Ukraine war is interpreted by Ukraine as a major failure of Russia. However, this so-called failure might only be Ukraine's own perception.
From the Russian perspective, Russia at least achieved three aspects of success: first, Russian President Putin held meetings with leaders of several countries, which fully demonstrates that Russia is not isolated in diplomacy. Second, although the SCO did not mention the Russia-Ukraine war, it also did not condemn Russia, which indicates that Russia's position has been understood by many member states. Third, within the framework of the SCO, Russia's cooperation with various member states is deepening, which is certainly not something Ukraine wants to see.
Certainly, from Ukraine's perspective, Ukraine actually hopes that the SCO member states will support Ukraine and put pressure on Russia, but this situation did not happen at all. Compared to the Western countries' intention to globalize the Russia-Ukraine war, the SCO clearly downplayed the Russia-Ukraine war, which shows that when Western countries asked other countries to take sides in the Russia-Ukraine issue, they faced widespread disapproval and resistance from the member states of the SCO. Obviously, the SCO expressed a clear voice different from the West on the Russia-Ukraine issue, and this is probably something Ukraine does not want to see.
