After France, Britain and Germany recently held a conference call of the "Volunteer Alliance" to aid Ukraine, the debate among European countries on whether to send troops to participate in the "peacekeeping operation" in Ukraine has entered a heated stage. Against this background, Germany's "Le Monde" quoted EU diplomatic sources on the 23rd as saying that if Russia and Ukraine achieve a ceasefire, China may be willing to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine in the future, but only if "United Nations authorization" is required.

Deutsche Welle said that Ukraine President Zelensky said that it was possible to start a dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin only if security guarantees were obtained in advance. That could mean an internationally formed force would be stationed in Ukraine to oversee no new fighting. According to Bloomberg previously reported, about ten European allies are willing to send troops to Ukraine. Britain, France, Lithuania and Estonia have publicly announced their readiness to send ground troops.

European debate on "maintaining peace in Ukraine" involving China and showing the EU flag

At the same time, a Greek government spokesman said that there is currently no possibility and no plan to send a "peacekeeping force" to Ukraine within the framework of security guarantees.

German political circles have also continued to debate whether to send troops to Ukraine in recent days. "Deutsche Welle" said on the 23rd that some people think it is difficult for Germany to be absent from the "peacekeeping force", especially Chancellor Mertz insists that Germany should have a strong say in international conflicts. However, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has said that the deployment of European troops in Ukraine is "totally unacceptable".

On the same day, a report in the German newspaper Die Welt attracted attention. The media claimed that it had learned from European Union diplomatic sources that China was willing to participate in peacekeeping in Ukraine, but only prepared to "deploy peacekeeping troops on the basis of UN authorization."

Some argue that joining another country in addition to Ukraine¡¯s traditional Western ally would make it easier for Russia to accept the prospect of sending peacekeepers and could potentially increase the acceptance of foreign troops deployed in Ukraine to oversee peace.

The report also claimed that EU diplomatic sources said there was also a risk that "it would not adopt a neutral stance when a conflict broke out."

The director of the Institute for International Affairs of the People's University of China Wang Yiyuan said on the 24th to the reporter of the Global Times that, first of all, the so-called "China will not take a neutral position when peace-keeping" is entirely contempt.The Chinese military participation in peace-keeping is under the command of the United Nations, fulfilling international obligations, highlighting China's responsibility as a responsible great power and the unreasonable accusations against the Chinese military highlight the contradictional mentality of European countries ".

Wang Jin said at the same time that from the terms of the ceasefire proposed by Russia, it is too early for Europe to discuss peacekeeping forces.Russia demands the full withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donbass region and cannot join NATO, while expressing that it does not accept Western countries to set up ground peacekeeping forces within Ukraine.

European media mentioned that what is unclear is what authorization model the "peacekeeping operations" mentioned by European countries will be carried out. Deutsche Welle stated that peacekeepers have traditionally come from neutral countries and play non-combat roles. It quoted the analysis of Los, a defense and security expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations, as saying that "peacekeeping missions are closest to the United Nations system, and troops observe tensions between the warring parties after the ceasefire," but "this is not in line with Europeans 'perception of themselves. They are not neutral in this conflict."

In February, media that U.S. officials proposed sending foreign peacekeepers, including military personnel from non-European countries such as Brazil and China, in the event of a ceasefire in Ukraine.A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said at the time, ¡°We do not comment on the hypothesis.

Media: Zelensky said he did not need China to provide security guarantees, and his remarks were not very friendly

It was still Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, who said it correctly.

The sea guests.

Zelensky, Ukraine's president, said "Ukraine does not need China as one of the countries providing security guarantees".

Zelensky accuses China of "not playing a role in ensuring Ukraine's security"

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday (August 22), Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning responded: "China has always been aboveboard and upholds an objective and fair stance on the issue of the Ukraine crisis. All parties concerned are clear about this."

Uncle Hai believes that although Mao Ning did not explicitly say whether China wanted to become a country that provided security guarantees to Ukraine, and still politely responded to questions from foreign media reporters, we have to talk about Zelensky's statement.

Obviously, Zelensky's words were not friendly to China.

Uncle Hai still remembers that at the 2024 Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Zelensky made some remarks that were disrespectful to China, including nonsense.

On June 3, 2024, the "Philippine Star" posted a live picture of the meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Philippine President Marcos on social media. Photo: Global Times

On that trip, he went from Kiev to Singapore, took part in a reconciliation after his speech, then went to Manila, with the Philippine President Marco, and jointly praised each other, saying China is not.

I really don't know what purpose the president of Ukraine in the war went to the Philippines at that time. On the surface, it was nothing more than to win Little Marcos to Switzerland to participate in the "Ukraine Peace Summit" instigated by Western countries without Russia.

China, of course, does not participate in this meeting with an unfathomable purpose behind it.

Later it turned out that even then-US President Biden was especially evaded and did not travel to Switzerland!

After the meeting, Zelensky said he hoped that China would play a role in promoting reconciliation in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

As the president of Ukraine, Zelensky has spoken over and over again, but this time this is just another situation.

At the same time, members of parliament in Ukraine have repeatedly acted outstandingly in their attitudes toward China.

For China, however, it has remained neutral in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and has not favored any of the parties.

As Maung said at a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "we believe that all parties should promote a political solution to the crisis in Ukraine on the basis of a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept."

Hai Shu has to say that what Mao Ning said this time is in line with China's previous position on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and has never changed.

On November 20, 2024, the new ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Ukraine, Malik Liang (right 3) arrived in Ukraine in a car and delivered a written speech.

If Russia and Ukraine can stop fighting and make peace, China will be happy to see it. If Russia and Ukraine continue to fight, China will of course persuade them whatever it can. In fact, China has repeatedly sent diplomats to Russia and Ukraine to mediate conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and the Middle East, or listen to the opinions of all parties.

China never imposes difficulties on others.

I don¡¯t want to say that Russians are going to fight for good.

To see Zelensky talking nonsense about a background in China.

On August 20, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that Russia supports providing strong security guarantees for Ukraine, and does not rule out UN Security Council members including Western countries and China from providing such guarantees.

Zelensky spoke immediately the next day.

Uncle Hai wants to say, I'm afraid Zelensky doesn't understand what a "member of the United Nations Security Council" means, right?

First, there are five permanent members of the Security Council.

Among them were Russia and China.Zelensky was born in Ukraine in 1978.Ukraine was a member republic of the Soviet Union at the time¡ªthus Zelensky was a citizen of one of the five permanent members of the United Nations at the time.It is worth mentioning that Ukraine during the Soviet era also had a vote in the United Nations!That was specifically demanded by Stalin on the eve of the establishment of the United Nations.

Putin, Picture: Data

Second, there are non-permanent members of the Security Council. Non-permanent members have no veto right in the Security Council.

I really don't know what Zelensky thinks? To say that to a permanent member who has a veto power on the Security Council.

Uncle Hai felt that, to a large extent, one of the main reasons was nothing more than the relevant proposal put forward by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.

Whatever Russia proposes, Ukraine opposes.

Is this the logic?

If this is the case, how can Ukraine negotiate with Russia?

If Ukraine makes it clear that it does not want to negotiate with Russia, then Zelensky needs to re-enter the White House after experiencing the humiliation of the White House and express four thanks to US President Trump.

Will Trump be prepared to preside over bringing the relevant lands of the four states of Utah into a deal for peace talks?

If so, how can Zelensky say that "nothing was done when Russia incorporated Crimea into its territory in 2014"? Hay notes that Zelensky recently said that 2014 "was a mistake for Ukraine to recognize that Russia took Crimea". The question is how did Russia recognize Crimea as Russian? Was there a "Normandy model" conference brokered by France and Germany that resulted in the Minsk Accords?

Does Ukraine comply with the Minsk Agreement?

Did Fader mediate between Russia and Ukraine before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? did Biden disagree with Putin when he was president of the United States, and then arched, causing the Russian-Ukrainian conflict?

Of course, a fight between Russia and Ukraine is something China does not want to see. But the reason for the fight between Russia and Ukraine is not in China.

Zelensky had better take a look at the map released by China. Which country does Crimea and Udon belong to in China's position?

Zelensky said, ¡°China has not helped to stop the conflict in 2022.¡±

When China wants to help, it¡¯s a mouth.

If I want to achieve some wishes on international occasions, I feel that China is easy to talk and "affordable", while other big countries can't, so I change my face.

This kind of face-changing technique really can't be used to.

Zelensky also felt poor when he was in the White House for the first time when he was counted by U.S. Vice President Wallace.

Poor people, in fact, have some.

It was still Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, who said it correctly.

Uncle Hai found that Mao Ning did not say that China was rushing to provide security guarantees to Ukraine.

Look at the world, for example, a country in the Caribbean, which is a kind of targeting China. even to date hasined so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan authorities.

This is why the Chinese side is not used to it.

You are confused. If you want to move from chaos to governance, first do something like what the ruler did, is in line with international consensus, and is accepted by the international community. Otherwise, no talk.

Within the scope of the Security Council, as long as one permanent member does not cooperate, what kind of "security guarantee" is it really-

What are you thinking about!
