On Friday, Beijing said the Ukraine peace summit “falls short” of China's requirements and the international community’s expectations, which it said, makes it difficult for the country to attend. The Russia-Ukraine war"will be longer" with China's support for Moscow, he alleged, adding that this is"bad for the whole world, including China itself, which says it respects territorial integrity and sovereignty, which are the main principles."Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy said during his speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue that his country proposes peace through diplomacy, which includes organising the Ukraine peace summit.
Ukraine “will not complain” and has found a way to restore diplomacy, he said, adding that most countries “truly desire and are capable of cooperation, at least as far as collective security is concerned". “There are already 15 such agreements, and more will come. These agreements are comprehensive, covering everything from defense cooperation to political and economic interaction. Diplomacy restores the world’s habit of carrying out the terms of agreements in real life,” he said.In response to Zelenskyy's speech, the Russian Embassy in Singapore posted a statement on Telegram, describing his participation in the Shangri-La Dialogue as having"left us with a feeling of indignation".
