Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated in an interview with several French media that the whole world, including Ukraine, wants Russia to participate in a future peace summit.
" The majority of the world today says that Russia must be represented at the second summit, otherwise we will not achieve significant results. Since the whole world wants it on the table, we cannot be against it" , he emphasized.
Ukraine organized a Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland in June with the participation of about 90 countries, mostly allies. Russia was excluded and as a result China, a diplomatic heavyweight close to Moscow, refused to participate.
From now until November, Ukraine will develop a plan that should serve as the basis for an upcoming second summit, while President Vladimir Putin has made the talks conditional on Kiev abandoning territories occupied by the Russian military and to give up NATO membership, all unacceptable demands for Ukrainians and the West.
Moscow said it is waiting for more details on the summit to decide on possible participation, while declaring that the Kiev government is not a legitimate interlocutor.
Zelensky also called on China to "put pressure on its Russian ally to end the war started by Russia" that has been tearing his country apart for two and a half years, something Beijing, at least publicly, , hasn't done it yet.
" If China wants to, it can force Russia to stop this war. China belongs to the world and is an influential country. I don't want her as a mediator, I want her to put pressure on Russia," he stressed.
According to the West, Beijing, by supporting Russia economically, allows the Russian industrial machine to transform into a war economy by supplying it with components that Moscow lacked for its weapons factories due to Western sanctions.
Even the Chinese authorities have never condemned the invasion, while they have announced their support for the territorial integrity of all countries in the world, including Ukraine.
Finally, Zelensky once again criticized the timidity of his Western allies, accusing them of preventing him from freely using the delivered weapons to strike military targets on Russian territory, from where Moscow's military can operate with impunity. bombed Ukraine.
"It is a big challenge that we cannot use (Western) weapons ," he concluded.
