Preliminary
In the morning of August 28,Russian missilesDraw an arc of death over Kiev,14 livesIt disappears instantly, evenEU Delegation in UkraineThey exploded into ruins.
This continuesall nightThe bombing completely destroyed Zelensky’s last fantasy, which was oncetake a strong stanceThe president, his attitude came180-degree turn。
Trump's death warrantWhat secret lies behind it? Why did ZelenskyHurry up.China?
A paper death penalty, half the world panicked.
The whole world thought Trump would continue with him.A hard route.At that time, the US president suddenly dropped a blockbuster.
The so-called "death warrant" is actually one signed by TrumpForeign Military Aid Restrictions Act, the core content is to significantly reduce military support for Ukraine.
When the news reached Kiev, Zelensky was holding an emergency meeting at the presidential palace to discuss how to respondA new Russian offensive.。The atmosphere in the conference room was already serious enough, but this news simply made things worse.
You know, U.S. military assistance is a huge threat to UkraineLife-saving straw。
Without this straw, you can imagine the situation of Ukraine.
What's worse is that Trump's decision came without warning, even in the United States, let alone in Eastern EuropeThe Ukrainian GovernmentIt is .
Zelenskyy's first reaction after learning the news was said to be in his officeTen minutes of silence.This is too abnormal for a politician who usually talks a lot. This ten minutes of silence may show the seriousness of the problem more than any words.
Zelensky's God Operation
After ten minutes of silence, Zelensky made an unexpected decision.
He did not publicly condemn as usual, nor gave an emotional speech, butSilentlyDid one thing.
On the night of the Russian bombing of Kiev, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine passed theSecret channelIt sent a message to China: it hopes that China will play a greater mediating role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
This U-turn, to be honest, was unexpected by even the most seasoned observer of diplomacy.
You know, just a few months ago, Zelensky's attitude towards China was still the sameIt's pretty cold.of the .
When he was interviewed by Western media at the time, he also hinted that China's position in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was not clear enough, and even some of them.The meaning of dissatisfaction。
But now, in the face of the sudden interruption of American assistance and the increasingly fierce Russian offensive, Zelensky finally realized a truth:More friends, the road is easierThis pragmatic transformation, in fact, reflects a deeper problem.
This time it was China's turn.
China’s position in this conflict was very strong from the beginning.Very differently。
When Western countries are busy choosing sidelines, China always insists.Convince to talk.The basic position of. The "three principles" reiterated over and over again by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may sound a bit boring, but if you take a closer look, the wisdom in them is not simple.
The three principles, which areThe battlefield does not spill over, the war does not escalate, and all parties do not arch fire。
This may sound mundane at first, but upon closer consideration, you will find that this is simply a dose of the current chaotic situationGood medicine。
German Chancellor Scholz said something at an internal meeting last month, which was very interesting: "Chinese people look at problems, sometimes more clearly than we do.。"
After this sentence came out, it aroused quite a lot of concern in European diplomatic circlesReactions to。
Because it expresses a reality that many people are reluctant to admit but have to face: in this complex international game, China has indeed demonstrated its success.Different wisdomAnd Zelensky now takes the initiative to find China, which is also a recognition of this wisdom to some extent
The rules of the game have to be rewritten.
Zelensky’s change was just the beginning.
It foreshadows the future of international politicsThe game rules.There may be a major adjustment.
In recent decades, international relations have largely been"Black and white."Logic: You either stand on this side or on that side, and there is no third way to go.
But now it seems that this simple and rude binary opposition model may really be outdated.
Proposed by ChinaGlobal Security Initiativeandglobal development InitiativeIn fact, it is an attempt to establish a new model of international cooperation.
Instead of emphasizing confrontation, this model pays more attention toDialogue and Cooperation。
Of course, change will not be achieved overnight. After all, the chess game of international politics is too complex and the interests involved are too complex.
But Zelensky’s initiative to extend the olive branch to China, at least, illustrates a little bit: more and more countries are beginning to realize,unilateralismThe road is blocked.Multilateral cooperationIt is the right way.
For China, this is both an opportunity and a responsibility. How to play a constructive role in the complex international situation tests not only diplomatic wisdom, but also the responsibility of a major country.
conclusion
International politics has never been lacking in dramaticity, but this time Zelenskyattitude reversal, it really gives people a vivid example of realistic diplomacy.
When survival becomes the primary task, ideological differences becomeNot so important.This could be an important trend in the development of international relations in this era.
In the face of such a complex international situation, you thinkPractical cooperationIs it more important than ideology?
