Quote: “What is clear is that China is not here, and I presume they’re not here because Putin asked them not to come and they obliged Putin.”

“And I think that says something about where China stands with respect to Russia’s war in Ukraine. I think countries should take notice of that.”

Background:

Russia refused to attend the conference in Switzerland, labelling the event biassed and the host country “openly hostile”.
However, the Ukrainian President’s Office has previously confirmed that Ukraine is ready to invite a Russian representative to the second Peace Summit, who will be presented with a “joint plan” agreed upon by the majority of the world’s nations.
