On June 4th, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Tea Banh called on the international community to work together to end the conflict in Ukraine.

Speaking at the Asian security forum, the Shangri-La Dialogue , held in Singapore, Minister Tea Banh said: “Cambodia supports all initiatives that offer a political solution to end this conflict, such as the 12-point plan proposed by China.”

He stated that Cambodia calls on Russia and Ukraine to cease hostilities and focus on finding a peaceful solution to the conflict.

Minister Tea Banh said: "To end the conflict, a joint effort from all parties is needed, including ceasing the use of force to resolve the issue and respecting international law."

Minister Tea Banh also stated that Cambodia is ready to continue providing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine in demining efforts within its territory.

Earlier this year, Cambodia trained 15 Ukrainian demining personnel in accordance with a commitment made by Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen at the ASEAN Summit held in Phnom Penh in November 2022.

Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been, is, and will remain open to any channels of contact regarding objectives in Ukraine through peaceful means.

However, according to Peskov, the West has not offered any alternative to resolving the conflict in Ukraine other than the battlefield.

Earlier, when asked whether Moscow was willing to negotiate with any representatives of the current Kiev government, Peskov expressed doubt. He explained that Ukrainian law prohibits any negotiations with the Russian authorities.

In a related development, on the same day, June 3, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry rejected a peace proposal put forward by Indonesia, as well as a proposal for a ceasefire and the establishment of a demilitarized zone (similar to the model in North Korea and South Korea) between Russia and Ukraine, overseen by UN peacekeeping forces.

This proposal was put forward by Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto during the 20th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, attended by defense ministers from many countries, including Ukraine and the United States.
