这则新闻报道揭示了欧洲理事会主席查尔斯·米歇尔在联合国安理会上呼吁中国在乌克兰问题上发挥更大作用，推动俄罗斯走向“公正和平”。这是一项重要而有影响力的外交动作，然而，它也凸显出国际政治中的复杂性和挑战性。 首先，米歇尔的呼吁表明了国际社会对于乌克兰冲突的严重关切。他强调了联合国宪章和核心原则，特别是主权国家的领土完整，这是国际秩序的基石。这种强调有助于在国际舞台上制定道德和法律的标准，但也反映了西方国家对乌克兰问题的坚定立场。 其次，米歇尔直接呼吁中国加入努力说服俄罗斯结束乌克兰冲突，这表明了中国在国际事务中的重要地位。中国一直采取中立立场，避免对乌克兰问题采取明确的立场，这在一定程度上反映了中国与俄罗斯的复杂关系。米歇尔的呼吁可能会引发中国的回应，并引发更多的外交互动。 然而，这也凸显了国际外交的复杂性。中国已经在联合国大会上选择弃权，这表明他们试图在乌克兰问题上保持中立，但与此同时，他们也希望解决所有安全问题。在推动中国采取更积极的立场方面可能会面临挑战，因为中国可能不愿意在俄罗斯和西方国家之间选择一边。 总的来说，这则报道突显了国际外交中的复杂局势，同时也表明了各方对于乌克兰问题的持续关注。希望各国能够共同努力，推动乌克兰走向和平，维护国际秩序和法治原则。
European Council President Charles Michel will ask China directly at the United Nations Security Council to do more to push Russia towards a "just peace" in Ukraine, according to his draft speech seen by Reuters at the UNGA.
At the Security Council meeting held on Wednesday during the annual high-level U.N. General Assembly in New York, Michel will call for "a just peace that respects the U.N. Charter and its core principles — the territorial integrity of a sovereign nation."
Michel will then turn directly to the Chinese delegation to say: "As responsible nations, let's join forces - to persuade Russia to end this criminal war that is hurting so many," the draft says.
China's vice foreign minister, Ma Zhaoxu, is listed to speak at the meeting of the 15-member council.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is also expected to attend the council meeting.
China has abstained from votes by the 193-member General Assembly that overwhelmingly demanded Moscow withdraw its troops from Ukraine and stop fighting. Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022.
China's abstentions appeared to reflect a bid to stay on the diplomatic fence over the war in Ukraine. Beijing has said the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected, but - in a nod to Russia's unease about NATO - believes all security concerns should be addressed.
