Ukraine war: talks in Jeddah give Kyiv an opportunity to push its ten-point plan to Brics and the global south

The talks in Jeddah were the latest effort to rally support behind Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s ten-point peace plan, first presented at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, on November 15 2022.

Key Points: 
  • The talks in Jeddah were the latest effort to rally support behind Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s ten-point peace plan, first presented at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, on November 15 2022.
  • Their deeper significance lies in the continuing shifts in the international order that they reflect.
  • This is hardly surprising given that some 40 countries participated with very diverse views on the war, its causes and possible solutions.
  • This is indicative of the importance that China and India – two key Russian allies among Brics – assign to these western-backed Ukrainian efforts to galvanise support for Zelensky’s ten-point plan.

Russia under pressure

    • That China remains engaged in, and supports, the continuation of discussions around Ukraine’s plan will be deeply worrying for Russia.
    • This does not bode well for Russia, which will not be represented by Vladimir Putin, at the upcoming Brics summit in South Africa.
    • Adding further to a sense of continuing marginalisation of Russia, even in formats such as the Brics, Moscow has also been subject to pressure from some of its traditional African allies over the war in Ukraine.

Different drivers, one outcome: a changing world order

    • It’s not merely the various different peace plans on the table.
    • But the emergence of a variety of coalitions pushing for different visions of a peace settlement is also of huge significance.
    • This ultimately reflects – and will determine – the nature of the new international order that is emerging.
    • But this should not be mistaken for a reaffirmation of a US-led international order.

Ukraine war: failed African peace mission underscores need for more powerful political and military pressure on Putin

Led by South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa, the delegation included leaders and senior officials from Congo-Brazzaville, Comoros, Egypt, Senegal, Uganda and Zambia.

Key Points: 
  • Led by South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa, the delegation included leaders and senior officials from Congo-Brazzaville, Comoros, Egypt, Senegal, Uganda and Zambia.
  • Their plan was based on establishing a ceasefire “through negotiations and diplomatic means”.
  • An earlier initiative by the Vatican was rejected by Zelensky immediately after his meeting with Pope Francis on May 13.

The China card

    • Officially announced on February 24 2023, the first anniversary of the invasion, western leaders were not particularly enthusiastic – but did not reject it out of hand either.
    • Zelensky signalled cautious optimism about China’s engagement in mediation after his hour-long phone call with Xi at the end of April.

West still favour’s Kyiv plan

    • The western favourite, so far, remains the Ukrainian peace plan.
    • This was first presented as a five-point plan by Zelensky at the UN General Assembly meeting in September 2022.
    • Then, and also at the May 2023 G7 summit in Hiroshima, Zelensky proposed further discussions at a global peace summit.

Mutual distrust

    • Notwithstanding these problems, pressure on both sides to start negotiating an end to the war will continue to grow.
    • The African peace mission was significantly motivated by the fact that the countries on the continent have massively suffered from the economic consequences of the war.
    • These are extremely important engagements because they create incentives for Beijing not to throw its full weight behind Moscow.
    • The more successful Ukraine’s counteroffensive, the stronger its position in the run-up to negotiations and at the negotiation table.
