Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his swashbuckling style, made a surprise visit to the Philippines to rally regional support for a global peace summit on the war in Ukraine, which he accuses Russia and China of trying to undermine. Arriving in Manila under heavy security, Zelenskyy was warmly welcomed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who pledged the Philippines' participation in the peace summit. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for mental health support for Ukrainian soldiers, to which Marcos promised assistance.Both leaders criticized China at the Shangri-La defense forum, accusing the country of disrupting the peace summit by pressuring other nations not to attend. Despite China's neutral stance on the conflict, evidence suggests Chinese parts are ending up in Russian weaponry.
