China has to play both sides here.

People are praising China for abstaining on the security council resolution, but China's vote was meaningless, because Russia were always going to veto the resolution.

China have lapped up the plaudits for doing something that cost them nothing, and only helped them gain.

Negotiation between Russia and Ukraine, when Russia are the aggressors will only lead to Ukraine losing either some territory or some control over their own affairs.

If China was REALLY on the side of peace and the sovereignty of the Ukraine, they'd be urging Putin to leave Russia.

Instead, they urge him to negotiate which

a) helps their image with the West - "Ooh China abstained and wanted negotiation, how good of them"

b) helps Putin because he invades another country, kills civilians and ends up gaining either territory or influence.
 
I get that this is a deeply partisan issue, but it’s not a good look to glorify such vicious ways to kill.
It's not a partisan issue that people defend their countries from invasion by whatever means they can.

Look, I'm American. I hate that Iraqis resorted to IEDs and the results it caused, including to people I know personally. But I don't for a second blame them for doing it.
 
A captured Russian major…

Apparently the translation is along the lines of:

They say “welcome to Ukraine”, ask him what’s he doing in their country and he replies with “I don’t know”

As the thread says how can a major not know what he’s doing invading a foreign, sovereign nation.
