I did not expect this 😳

Reportedly, #Zelenskiy's push for the #PeaceSummit at the #ShangriLaDialogue in #Singapore wasn't as warmly received as expected. He's obviously hoping to get #BBM (President Marcos) & the #Philippines on #Ukraine's side for the peace initiative. This last minute surprise will throw the Philippine diplomatic staff in an uproar 🤣.

And #China is definitely not going to like this (a good thing). #ZelenskiyInManila

#Zelenskiy later told media that #China had supported such efforts to deter leaders from participating.

“Regrettably, #Russia using Chinese influence on the region, using Chinese diplomats also, does everything to disrupt the peace summit. It is unfortunate that such a big, independent, powerful country as China is an instrument in the hands of #Putin." #Ukraine #ShangriLaDialogue
