At the conclusion of the Ukraine Peace Summit on June 17, 2024, Ukraine proposed immediate peace negotiations if Russia withdraws its troops, with 14 countries not signing the joint statement. Ukrainian President Zelensky set conditions for talks, including Ukraine's abandonment of NATO membership, while also calling for China's assistance, although Chinese media responded coolly. Russia demanded Ukraine withdraw troops from four areas under Russian occupation and renounce NATO membership. The EU criticized these conditions as bullying, with disagreements on peace terms evident and Zelensky naming China to help, despite Chinese state media's criticism of the summit as siding with the West. Friendly nations with Russia failed to sign the joint statement, and internal crises in Russia continued with ISIS-related suspects seizing prison guards, hinting at ongoing extremist threats.
