Now Ukraine is in an awkward position! Russia has revealed a shocking message, and Ukraine has rejected China too early. Previously, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy clearly stated that he would not accept China's participation in the actions to ensure Ukraine's security. After Ukraine's statement, we did not give a clear position on whether to participate in peacekeeping. However, what Ukraine did not expect was that this time Russia actively revealed some information, which undoubtedly made Ukraine feel very embarrassed.
On September 2nd, according to foreign media reports, after the meeting between Chinese and Russian leaders, Russian presidential aide Ushakov stated that the idea of sending Chinese peacekeeping forces to Ukraine was not discussed during the meeting between the Chinese and Russian leaders, and the two sides had not discussed this topic at all. Ushakov said that during the meeting, Russia focused on informing China about the relevant information of the meeting between the US and Russian leaders. Obviously, this response from Russia has undoubtedly made Ukraine very embarrassed.
Ukraine may have originally thought that Russia would strongly bring up China, allowing China to participate in peacekeeping. However, this time when China and Russia held their highest-level meeting, the two countries didn't even discuss this issue, which means what? This indicates that both China and Russia understand that it may be too early to talk about post-war peacekeeping. Since the timing for discussing peacekeeping is not yet mature, China and Russia obviously don't need to talk about it.
For China and Russia, this is not an urgent issue, but Ukraine expressed its rejection of China from the beginning. This is not only a misunderstanding of China's position, but also actually sowed seeds of distrust in Sino-Ukrainian relations, which is certainly not beneficial for Ukraine. It is obvious that Ukraine's premature statement has also reduced its room for maneuver. If Ukraine realizes that it is too early to talk about peacekeeping, it is likely that Ukraine will be more cautious in dealing with China, rather than pushing China away.
