Foreign media said that Ukrainian President Zelensky will attend the Shangri-La Dialogue and deliver a speech.
According to foreign media reports quoted by "" on May 31, Ukrainian President Zelensky will attend the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore this weekend and deliver a speech at the "Shanghai Conference".
The conference schedule previously announced on the official website of the organizer, the British Institute for International Strategic Studies, did not include a speech by Zelensky. Reuters quoted two anonymous sources as saying that Zelensky will deliver a speech at the "Xiang Conference" this Saturday. "Lianhe Zaobao" stated that Zelensky will attend the "Xiang Meeting" and deliver a speech this Sunday. "Lianhe Zaobao" also said that Zelensky will arrive on Sunday and leave on the same day.
The above-mentioned media stated that the Ukrainian Embassy in Singapore did not respond to comment. Reuters reported that Zelensky’s office in Kiev did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"Lianhe Zaobao" mentioned that Zelensky is currently in Stockholm, Sweden, attending the third Nordic-Ukraine Summit. The Ukrainian leader has been traveling intensively recently, including visits to Spain, Belgium and Portugal this week.
In 2022, at the 19th Shangri-La Dialogue, Zelensky delivered a speech via video. At that time, Zelensky said that the situation between Russia and Ukraine was not only a European problem, but also a matter for the whole world. Zelensky said the current war must stop.
Recently, the battlefield situation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has undergone some new changes. The Russian army has begun to attack the Kharkiv region of Ukraine and has taken control of many villages and towns in the state. The Ukrainian army has used more long-range weapons to attack targets in Russia.
According to CCTV News, on May 31, local time, Zelensky said in an interview with the British "Guardian" that the United States has authorized Ukraine to use weapons provided by the United States to attack targets in Russia. In addition, Ukrainian presidential spokesman Nikiforov said on May 31 that Ukraine has been approved to use American weapons in the neighboring region of Kharkiv.
On May 27, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg once again proposed that Ukraine should be supported in using weapons provided by NATO countries to attack the Russian mainland. Previously, Stoltenberg also said that NATO allies that provide military support to Ukraine should consider lifting some "restrictions" on Ukraine's use of weapons, and Ukraine should be allowed to use these weapons to attack targets in Russia.
The US "Politics" reported on May 29, citing sources, that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz now "supports" Ukraine's attack on the Russian hinterland. He had earlier worried that Ukraine would use long-range weapons to attack targets in Russia, which would escalate the conflict. Previously, Germany had refused to provide Ukraine with long-range "Taurus" missiles. The reason given by Scholz was that he was worried about the escalation of the conflict.
Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, said on May 31 that Russia was not bluffing when it talked about the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine. He warned that Moscow's conflict with the West could escalate into an all-out war. According to reports, Medvedev said that the conflict between Moscow and the West is developing towards the worst-case scenario, and "no one today can rule out the possibility that the conflict will evolve into the final stage."
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov responded on May 27 that the U.S.-led NATO has long been involved in hostilities with Russia. NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg's remarks cannot be his personal views. They can be said to be the official position of the U.S.-led NATO military group. Russia will respond accordingly.
