New Delhi: Ukraine has become a big arena on the international map in which efforts are being made to settle the global equation. The uneasiness to stop the Russia-Ukraine war is more visible in Europe and some NATO countries are making some unusual efforts for this. On one hand, India is trying to maintain its neutrality even after Russia’s inclination, while China’s activism in this matter has also brought a ray of hope for some countries. The entire world, especially Europe, is eyeing the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to China in view of the Ukraine crisis. Will Macron be able to get anything out of it?
Macron’s Meeting with Jinping
Emmanuel Macron is about to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. Although many trade agreements are to be signed between the two countries during this visit, the main issue is going to be Ukraine. Jinping has already made a peace proposal on his behalf for Russia and Ukraine, which has been rejected by Russian President Vladimir Putin, now it will be Macron’s effort Jinping should try more in this matter.
Jinping go to Ukraine
Macron will try to ask Putin to stop being aggressive in Ukraine. The thing to see here is that earlier German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez have also requested Jinping to go to Ukraine and meet Vladimir Zelensky. Zelensky himself has also requested Jinping to come to Ukraine.
What is expected
Macron has already failed to persuade Putin, but he is hoping that Jinping can persuade Putin to stop. In particular, they can stop them by convincing Putin about the deployment of nuclear weapons in Ukraine and the harm being done to Ukrainian citizens. France believes that they will at least persuade China not to bow too much towards Russia.
Importance of china
China’s position is very important in this matter, according to the Washington Post report, a French official has said on the condition of anonymity that France cannot change China’s position, but it can be expected that China will move towards Moscow. Will not bend much. It is also clear that China is one of the few (if not the only) countries that can create a game-changer effect in either direction in this dispute.

What can change Europe’s outlook?
The French official said that the President will discuss that after three years on his visit, an attempt will be made to know where we are now and where they are. This discussion can have an effect. This can be a good beginning in terms of changing attitudes towards China in Europe. Where for some time ago, efforts are being made to reduce the economic risk towards China in Europe.
What for china
France can propose to China that they will try to reduce the pressure of America in Europe, which is increasing the distance of China from Europe if China accelerates efforts to bring peace to Ukraine. But Macron and the President of the European Commission Von der Leyen are also going with him. Leyen has said that Europe will insist on reducing the risk of China. In such a situation, some European officials doubt the success of France’s efforts.
But it has to be admitted that this task will not be easy for Macro. How constructive America will be able to be towards China will also be a big challenge in itself, especially when China-US relations are most tense at the moment. Few in America would have expected Macron to achieve anything for Ukraine with his visit. But France definitely wants that Europe can maintain its sovereignty where its priority is not dependent on others but its citizens.
