China and Russia will not attend peace summit, but unity is key to maintaining Western dominance Dominic Waghorn International Affairs Editor @Dominic Waghorn It’s been another bad week for Vladimir Putin. He says he started the Ukraine war to limit Western expansion. It’s accelerating rapidly, entirely due to his aggression.
