“In this plan there are only advantages for Russia” “This plan only benefits Russia,” the US president reiterated in an interview with ABC News, stressing that the idea of ​​China “negotiating the outcome of a completely unjust war for Ukraine is not rational.” If the dragon were to supply weapons to Russia, he assured, the US would “react.”

The verdicts of the Ukrainian leaders After rejection by the EU, US and NATO, even Ukrainian leaders have voiced clearer judgments. In the document “there are several elements that we agree with, but at least one that we disagree with, and that is the call for an end to unilateral sanctions,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said. Presidential Advisor Mykhailo Podolyak: “If you claim to be a global player, don’t offer an unrealistic plan. You are not counting on an aggressor who has violated international law and who will lose the war. sighted China, window is not infinite,” he tweeted.

Zelenskyy wants to meet Xi For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed some elements of the Chinese move, but clarified that only the country where a war is being waged should be the initiator of a peace plan, which still aims to meet with Xi, noting that Beijing’s plan seemed to demonstrate that “our territorial integrity and security issues will be respected”.

Lukashenko said earlier this month his country was ready to do it again, stoking new fears in Ukraine.

Macron in China in early April On the other front, however, Macron will be in China “early April”: he has urged Beijing to “urge Russia” to end the war. Peace is only possible if “the aggression is stopped, the troops are withdrawn and the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine and its people are respected. It is a good thing that China is striving for peace.” But even the head of the Elysée asked “not to give arms to Russia.” The EU is also committed to an open diplomatic channel with the dragon: As the Chinese Ministry of Defense announced, there was a meeting between a delegation of its soldiers and that of NATO on Thursday in Brussels, which led to the “dialogue and institutional consultations” again were recorded. for the first time since the outbreak of the Ukraine war and the Covid pandemic.
