No negotiations on Ukraine are possible without Russia and China — Czech President

Without Russia and China at the same table, it will be impossible to carry out any negotiations on ending the conflict in Ukraine. Ukraine. This was stated by the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel.

"Without Russia and China, it will really be impossible to hold any peace talks," he said.

At the same time, Pavel believes that Moscow needs to reconsider the demands placed on Kiev regarding the start of a dialogue on the settlement of the conflict.

"Problems must be solved on the basis of international law," the Czech leader stressed.

In addition, the Czech President emphasized the need for China's participation in the negotiations on Ukraine. According to him, this will significantly increase Beijing's international prestige, since China "undoubtedly is an important global player in the economy and finance, but not in politics aimed at achieving peace, and there it could, of course, play a much more significant role." He also believes that Beijing should take on greater responsibility for maintaining peace on the planet based on existing international norms, and "not based on who has a larger army or greater economic power."

Recall that the Czech Republic condemns Russia's actions on Ukraine and helps Kiev in every possible way. At the same time, Pavel's current statement on the need to resolve the conflict is not the first. He has previously said that he expects a certain shift in the conflict at the end of this year or early next year. According to the Czech leader, one of the factors of this is fatigue from military operations, which affects Russia and Ukraine.
