It would be great if olive branches could end the war in Ukraine, but sometimes, a thug must be recognised as a thug
to Russia, or parroting Russia’s lines about Nato’s responsibility for the war.
Any hopes at the beginning of this conflict of China playing a responsible role in mediating it have been proven misplaced. China clearly sees the war as being in its interests.
Macron’s initiative was based on the assumption that China is willing to engage on the issue of Ukraine; that it is as open to notions of fairness, reasonableness and international legality as we are.
The same naivete is on display in much of the conversation in the West around Ukraine. Many on both the anti-war left and right can be heard calling on our leaders to try and pour cold water on this war, and put more diplomatic weight behind securing peace. Wanting to achieve peace is of course a noble aim. But it ignores the fact that Russia is not interested in peace.
