"Expanding Talks on Ukraine Peace Formula: China's Role Questioned"

More countries are joining talks on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's peace formula, with a growing number of participants from Europe, Asia, and Africa, but notably no delegation from China. The goal is to set the groundwork for Russia to eventually join, but with the conflict ongoing and no willingness to cede ground from either side, the path to peace remains distant. Ukraine recognizes the need to involve China, an ally of Russia, and is emphasizing the international importance of resolving the European conflict. Zelenskyy's 10-point peace formula includes the expulsion of Russian forces and accountability for war crimes, but these ideas are rejected by Moscow. The discussions also cover issues such as Russian withdrawal, justice, environmental security, and ending the war without accepting a "frozen conflict."
