LONDON - Ukraine has rejected a Chinese suggestion to consider an immediate ceasefire in the country’s war with Russia.
China’s mediation effort never stood much of a chance, partly because of the widespread belief among Ukrainian officials that, despite its declarations of neutrality, Beijing is supporting Russia’s position in the war and partly because China’s plan to end the war seems to just consist of calls to stop the fighting, something that would leave the Russians in occupation of approximately 17 per cent of Ukrainian territory.
President Zelensky, who claims that no deal is possible until all Russian troops leave his country, rejected all these initiatives as irrelevant. If Russia succeeds in its objective to deprive Ukraine of air defences, the skies will be open for the Russian air force, which until now has not played a vital role in the fighting, to blunt the incoming Ukrainian land-based offensive.
