Zelensky and Trump on the key to peace: why China can stop the war.
Statements from leaders on China's influence on the war in Ukraine
According to inkorr.com: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that China has the ability to force Russia to end the war, as Russia is completely dependent on China. 'If China really wanted to stop this war, it could make Moscow cease its invasion. Without China, Vladimir Putin's Russia is nothing. However, the PRC is too often silent,' he emphasized.
According to U.S. President Donald Trump, China has key levers of influence over Russia. His opinion is that sanctions or tariffs imposed by Europe against China could prompt the Chinese to pressure the Russian Federation to end the war. 'If they imposed sanctions, for example, or tariffs, or however you want to call it. If they did this against China, I think the war could have ended. China is the largest buyer of oil from Russia,' Trump explained.
Both leaders, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, stressed the importance of China's role in resolving the conflict in Ukraine. They believe that the influence of the PRC could significantly contribute to ending the war with Russia.
The leaders' reflections on China’s potential role highlight the complex geopolitical situation in which Ukraine finds itself. China's emergence as a key player has the potential to affect not only the Ukrainian conflict but also global politics as a whole. This issue remains relevant as the war continues and international relations are constantly changing.
