Recently, China has proposed hosting a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The proposal does not include the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, triggering varied reactions in the international community.
China Initiative:
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during his visit to Britain that his country welcomes the common understanding reached between the US and Russia to end the war in Ukraine. He stressed that Europe should play an important role in this peace talks. Wang Yi also made it clear that China and Russia have close relations, and China has maintained distance from criticizing Russian attacks on Ukraine. (ABP NEWS)
American and Russian response:
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin recently held a 1:30 hour phone conversation in which they agreed to end the Ukraine war immediately. Trump plans to meet Putin in Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman likely to play a mediator role. However Trump has described the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, one of Russia's main demands, as impractical. This has raised concerns among European leaders, as it appears to be in line with Russian conditions. (DD News)
Concerns for Ukraine and Europe:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made clear that any agreement without Ukraine's participation would be worthless and has demanded security guarantees from the US. The foreign ministers of France, Germany and Spain have also stressed that no just peace is possible without the involvement of Ukraine and European allies. Ukraine has rejected Russia's conditions—such as giving up NATO membership and returning to pre-2014 borders—because it is considered a surrender.

Doubts on China's role:
Western countries are skeptical about China's proposal, as China and Russia have close strategic ties. China has so far not made any commitment to reduce its support to Russia, which raises questions about its impartiality.

Way forward:
International pressure is mounting, and Trump has proposed continuing military aid to Ukraine in exchange for rare minerals. Zelensky plans to hold discussions with European allies at the Munich Security Conference. Analysts believe that talks in a neutral forum such as Saudi Arabia or China could increase the chances of a ceasefire, but Ukraine's participation and Russia's flexibility in terms will be the key to a lasting solution.
conclusion
This proposal by China could mark a new turn in global diplomacy, but its credibility is questionable due to the absence of Ukraine and China-Russia relations. Only the participation of all concerned parties in the peace process and respect for Ukraine's sovereignty can ensure a just solution.
