Se acabó.

En un nuevo ejercicio de equidistancia y malabarismos diplomáticos, China evitó este martes condenar el ataque de Rusia a Ucrania al tiempo que pedía contención “a todas las partes” y ponía énfasis en la necesidad de salvaguardar la soberanía de los estados.

Putin está sólo.

¿Seguro? Estaría solo si le hubieran dicho algo negativo al respecto.
Pero si no condenan el ataque, puede ser simplemente que quieren quedar bien con el resto de socios comerciales y no ampliar el conflicto.
China y Rusia tienen muchos intereses en común, entre ellos ser la energía y ser enemigos territoriales de EE.UU. China en particular tiene muchas tensiones con EE.UU. en los territorios marítimos desde hace unos años, que cada vez van a más.

No me extrañaría que las cosas se recrudeciesen por Asia también. Ya veremos.

Y tanto.






Piensa un poco... o "adivina" a quién le robaron _toda_ la parte asiatica de Rusia. (Que como bien explico pp.cc., rusia = el "rus" (o reino) de Kiev.)

CHINA / DIPLOMACY
Xi, Putin hold talks at crucial moment of Ukraine crisis, stress peaceful approach
By Zhang Hui

Two important world leaders, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, held a crucial phone call on Friday, one day after Russia launched military operations against Ukraine, in which Xi stressed the significance of resolving the crisis through negotiations.

Chinese analysts believe that the Xi-Putin conversation amid the rapidly escalating Ukraine crisis sent strong signals to the world that the relations and trust between China and Russia is tangible and firm despite US-led Western attempts to sow discord between them using the crisis, and it also showed the world that as a responsible major power, China is actively pushing for a peaceful settlement of the issue by urging the two sides to sit down and talk, which formed a sharp contrast to the US approach that aims to fan the flame.

President Xi said that the dramatic change in the situation in eastern Ukraine recently has attracted a high level of attention from the international community. China determines its position concerning the Ukrainian issue on its own merits. It is important to reject the Cold War mentality, take seriously and respect the reasonable security concerns of all countries, and reach a balanced, effective and sustainable security mechanism in Europe, Xi said.

Xi said China supports Russia in solving the issue through negotiations with Ukraine.

Putin said the US and NATO have long turned a blind eye to Russia's legitimate security concerns, and have repeatedly negated their promises to Russia. Their continued military deployment eastward has challenged Russia's strategic red line. He also expressed Russia's willingness to have high-level negotiations with Ukraine.

Yang Jin, an associate research fellow at the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Friday that the Xi-Putin call showed the world the substantial China-Russia relations and that the two countries have strong mutual trust and their communication channel is open.

And Xi's words, which stressed a peaceful settlement through negotiations, once again show the world that China is a responsible major power and contributes to deescalating the crisis, Cui Heng, an assistant research fellow from the Center for Russian Studies of East China Normal University, told the Global Times.

China has been actively promoting the political settlement of the Ukraine issue and stressed all parties concerned should adhere to the general direction of a political settlement, Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of Chinese Foreign Ministry, said at Friday's media briefing. He said China will continue to make its own efforts to promote a political settlement of the Ukraine issue, and China's approach is in sharp contrast to the US approach that aims to create a crisis and benefit from the crisis, Wang added.

"History will come to a just conclusion as to which approach is more conducive to the security and long-term stability of Europe," he said.

According to a Kremlin spokesperson on Friday, Russia is ready to send a delegation to Minsk for talks.

Putin's willingness to negotiate with Ukraine indicated that the door of peaceful means is still open, and it is likely Russia and Ukraine will solve the crisis through negotiations, which is apparently their next step, analysts said.

As the Russian military operation against Ukraine entered a second day, the first Russian military units have reportedly entered Kiev.

Shortly before Kremlin's message, Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters on Friday that Ukraine wants peace and is ready for talks with Russia, including on its neutral status regarding NATO.

Accusing the West of leaving Ukraine to face Moscow alone, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday he had reached out to "partners" in the West to tell them that Ukraine's fate was at stake.

"I've asked 27 leaders of Europe, if Ukraine will be in NATO, I've asked them directly - all are afraid and did not respond," Zelensky said. "Who is ready to go to war for us? Honestly, I don't see anybody," he continued, RT reported.
 
Yang said that Ukraine is eager to talk with Russia at this moment as it knows that the best way to reduce its losses is to talk.

Although Zelensky is still demanding help from the West, he is gradually aware that help from the West would be just a castle in the air, and they only imposed ineffective sanctions on Russia, analysts said.

NATO has clearly stated that it will not send troops into Ukraine, which basically meant that the West has abandoned Ukraine, Cui said.

The two countries will eventually sit down for talks, analysts said, and the key of the talks will be whether Ukraine will make a clear position on neutrality and whether NATO will promise not to expand its influence near Russia's territory, Yang said.

Analysts said the negotiations may involve Russia, Ukraine and the US as the crisis is eventually a crisis between Russia and the US, and the US which created the crisis and fanned the flame has a responsibility to solve the issue.

As for the outcome of the negotiations, Chinese analysts believe neutrality of Ukraine is the best choice for Ukraine, Russia and Europe.

And it's possible that the pro-West government of Ukraine will step down and be replaced with a pro-Russia government, indicating that Russia, Ukraine and Belarus will form a historical, cultural and spiritual union led by Russia, Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of China Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times.

He said it will result in deepened divisions in Europe and make Ukraine's position in Europe difficult. At that time, Europe's division will be much deeper than that after the Cold War, as Europe will be divided from the west side of Ukraine, which will not conform to the integrated security of Europe.

And the US is the culprit for causing the possible scenario, as it failed to properly deal with Europe since the Cold War ended, Li said.

Hasta ahora, de lo que va pasando Rusia contenta, a los EEUU no se les ha roto nada y han conseguido parar el nord stream 2, que parece les iba la vida en ello. China bien y... Europa mal. El pupas, como ha dicho otro forero

A mi me da , ppr lo que voy viendo , que el plan ruso es mover la frontera hasta el dnieper.
Y depende de cómo,  unir por el sur hasta Moldavia.

Rusia está reaccionando como era previsible a tenor de las respuestas de Putin a estas dos preguntas de una periodista de Sky News en diciembre pasado.

En lugar de agitarse y alinearse con los USA, a Macron le bastaba anunciar que vetaría cualquier intento de  entrada de Ukrania en la OTAN[
Se paraba todo, y la guerra se habría evitado,
Pero prefirió el plan belicoso de los americanos,
___

Au lieu de gesticuler et de s’aligner sur Washington, Macron aurait pu annoncer que la France mettrait son veto à toute adhésion de l’Ukraine à l’OTAN.
Tout était désamorcé et la guerre évitée.
Mais il a préféré le plan belliqueux américain. Contre nos intérêts. Dehors !

____

Y eso es todo, Tiene razón,

Vivimos un mundo extraño donde las opiniones de los "extremistas" de la derecha (Philippot est proximo a LePen/Zemmour) parecen razonables.

Conste que España podria poner el veto también,

El problema de Ukrania, lo criamos y lo cultivamos en casa (valga la expresión,)

ENTREVISTA. "Las ambiciones de Vladimir Putin son más amplias" que Ucrania, según este experto

Asesor de la Fundación para la Investigación Estratégica, François Heisbourg publicó recientemente un libro titulado “Le retour de la guerre” (Odile Jacob). Él cree que Putin no se detendrá en Ucrania y que las fuerzas de la OTAN tendrán que estar estacionadas permanentemente en los flancos norte y este.
