Hello everyone
Hello everyone and welcome to this live broadcast of Tuesday July 23 dedicated to the war in Ukraine.
A Visit to Efforts for Peace. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kouleba is making an unprecedented visit to Russia’s close ally China on Tuesday (July 23) to discuss ways to find a peaceful solution to the war between Kiev and Moscow. Despite its close economic, diplomatic and military ties with Moscow, Beijing has been further bolstered by the Russian invasion of Ukrainian territory launched in February 2022, with Beijing keen to play mediator in the conflict.
Dmytro Kouleba’s visit, scheduled to last until Friday, will be his first trip to China since the start of the Russian operation. It comes after NATO’s sharp criticism of Beijing’s economic aid to Moscow. But in particular, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky opened the door to negotiations with Russia a week later, for the first time. He said he supports Moscow’s presence at future peace summits.
The first was organized in mid-June in Switzerland, and several dozen countries were represented. But China decided not to participate, believing that Russia was not invited and therefore unlikely to make progress. “Main topic of discussion” During this visit of Dmytro Kouleba “China’s Role in Seeking Ways to Stop Russian Aggression and Achieving a Lasting and Just Peace”, His ministry said. China, which shares with Russia a common desire to resist US influence, has never condemned the Russian invasion and accuses NATO of ignoring Moscow’s security concerns.
