President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the UN Security Council meeting stated that China could stop Putin. «This is a strong country on which Russia is now completely dependent. If China truly wanted this war to end, it could force Moscow to stop this invasion. Without China, Putin's Russia — is nothing. But China remains silent and detached instead of acting for peace».
He also emphasized that Ukraine has always agreed to every proposal by the US President for a ceasefire and negotiations with Russia. However, Putin always responded with «no».
«This man is afraid to sit face to face with Ukraine and the world and openly admit that he only wants war. Instead, Putin sends delegates who cannot and do not want to stop the bloodshed. And when he appears abroad — in Beijing or elsewhere — it is only to buy time for killings and create the appearance of striving for diplomacy», — stated Zelensky.
The President of Ukraine also noted that since the Budapest Memorandum «failed» and turned into «empty words», Ukraine is building a new security architecture, reporting that more than 30 countries have already joined the «coalition of the willing».
According to Zelensky, real security guarantees should become a limit that Russia cannot cross again.
