Russia was correct in past it just didnot have the competence due to prolong communist rule where Ministries were stuffed with people from all Soviet republics. it took a while for them to understand Arabic soft power and its relations with Israel. Soviet breakup was not just separating republics but separating Muslims. the last part people not give importance.
even now people think this conflict is about NATO or Europe but in reality how this thing is executed it seems that Russia want to create an Islamic barrier between Europe and Itself. I dont think Russia has that much interest in Europe. but Arabs have interest in whole of Europe. when i said execution it really means the application Arabic soft power through out the society. certain things are visible like this children exchange with Ukraine using Qatar but the invisible part is that extreme wealth that is apparent but no one talk about like this Mosque in Moscow with deep pile foundation and finest built.

Applies to most other "at least we can criticize" arguments too btw. Criticism has zero value unless it can lead to a change.

Ukraine says ‘China has a crucial role to play in achieving peace’​

Top diplomats from Beijing and Kyiv met in Munich, as three-year war appears to be moving into a new stage​

A senior Ukrainian official said on Saturday that “China has a crucial role to play in achieving peace”, following a meeting with Beijing’s top diplomat in Munich.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha‎ and the head of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office, Andriy Yermak, met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, amid rampant speculation about what China’s role would be in a war that appears to be moving into a new phase.

“We also shared Ukraine’s vision for achieving a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace. As a global player, China has a crucial role to play in achieving peace,” Yermak said. “The Chinese foreign minister expressed confidence that Ukraine must be a party to any peace negotiations, just as Europe’s participation in them is also essential.”

The latter statement comes amid moves from US President Donald Trump to negotiate directly with Russian counterpart

to end the near-three-year war.

On Saturday, Trump’s Ukraine special envoy Keith Kellogg said European leaders would not be involved in peace talks, amid concern from Kyiv and its supporters about whether Ukraine would be involved on an equal footing with Russia.

“It may be like chalk on the blackboard. It may grate a little bit, but I am telling you something that is really quite honest,” Kellogg told the Munich summit.

And to my European friends, I would say: ‘Get into the debate, not by complaining that you might, yes or no, be at the table, but by coming up with concrete proposals, ideas, ramp up [defence] spending.’”

On Friday, Wang told Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, that he “supports Europe’s important role in the peace talks process”, drawing a sharp contrast with Kellogg’s statement.

Late on Saturday, the Financial Times reported that US and Russian officials would meet in Saudi Arabia next week in a bid to start negotiations about settling the conflict, which was launched by a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

In a blog post published on Saturday evening, the former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis added to speculation about Beijing’s role in the war’s resolution, writing that “China could win the war against Ukraine without firing a shot”.
“If the US and Europe don’t offer security to Ukraine, China might step into the gap, using its leverage on Russia. They could even offer a better deal than Trump’s,” wrote Landsbergis, who was known for his hawkish stance on Beijing during his time in office.

“Ukraine has a lot to offer to China in return for security—rebuilding, ports, agricultural produce. There will be those in Europe who will support this. This gambit could be called a ‘Kissinger’, splitting the US and Europe as Kissinger split the Soviet Union and China,” he continued.
