Zelenskyy sows discord, claiming "Russia is ceding sovereignty to China"
Lately, the U.S. government has been increasing pressure on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. After publicly criticizing Zelenskyy, U.S. President Trump questioned why Ukraine hasn't held presidential elections. At this time, Zelenskyy even resorted to sowing discord between China and Russia.
On December 10th local time, Zelenskyy posted on the social media platform X, claiming that Russia is giving up part of its sovereignty to China.
Zelenskyy mentioned a report submitted by the head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, Oleg Ivashchenko. According to him, the report elaborated on Russia's economic situation, "particularly the dependence of Russian enterprises and the national system on Chinese investment, technology, and political priorities."
"We have noticed that part of Russia's territorial sovereignty is increasingly tilting toward China," Zelenskyy claimed, "mainly through the use of resource-rich land and selling scarce resources to China," while baselessly accusing "China and Russia are strengthening cooperation in the military industry field."
He claimed that he has instructed the foreign intelligence service to monitor Sino-Russian cooperation more closely.
Reuters mentioned that during a video speech that night, Zelenskyy again referred to the aforementioned report, stating that Russia "is increasingly dependent" on China.
He claimed, "In Russian history, there has never been such a large-scale cession of sovereignty to China or any stronger country. It is shocking that Russia has paid such a high price to avoid ending this war. But the world still has enough power to end this war."
