2/8 Following his discussion with the chinese counterpart, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced that Ukraine has received a clear indication that china is actively working to bring an end to russia's war against Ukraine.
3/8 While it's understandable that Ukraine seeks dialogue with china given its current predicament, it feels compelled to appease china in order to limit its support for russia in the war. Nevertheless, this may not be the most effective strategy.
4/8 For the past two and a half years, china has consistently supported Ukraine's invasion and genocide. china is actively engaged in a conflict against Ukraine and has displayed no intention of seeking an end to the war. Therefore, china's statements hold no credibility.
5/8 Ukraine should have absolutely no trust in china. When it comes to china, actions speak louder than words, and talks hold little significance.
6/8 china is providing financial support for russia's invasion of Ukraine, assisting russia in bypassing sanctions and supplying machinery for its defense industry. Additionally, china is providing russia with geospatial intelligence to target Ukraine and its civilians.
7/8 china does not respond favorably to appeasement, as it only comprehends strength. Ukraine may want to reconsider its strategy and take a firmer stance against china by exposing its behavior, instead of attempting to gloss over china's actions in the hope of appeasement.
1/11 The war is far from over, but Ukraine is still winning.
Here is how we can make sure that it defeats Russia 🧵
2/11 Russia’s 2022 invasion is a genocide.
They use genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing Ukraine's identity. They kidnap children and commit daily war crimes to punish civilians for simply refusing to be Russian.
This is a systematic attempt to destroy a nation
3/11 The human cost is massive.
In Mariupol, the death toll in 3 months potentially exceeded the total deaths in Gaza throughout the entire war, despite a much smaller population.
People underestimate this scale and don't see that Russia is committing genocide in Europe
