Russia was not invited to the first peace summit, which started today in Switzerland, because the aggressor country is not interested in peace, states the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Now there is no Russia here. Why? Because if Russia was interested in peace, there would be no war," Zelenskyy said.
According to him, the world must decide together what a just peace means and how it can be achieved on the basis of the UN Charter.
"Then, when the action plan is on the table, agreed by all and transparent to the peoples, then it will be communicated to the representatives of Russia. And so that at the second peace summit we can fix the real end of the war," the President added.
Global peace summit
The Global Peace Summit on Ukraine started today, June 15, in Switzerland. The event is attended by 101 countries and international organizations.
However, Russia was not invited to the first peace summit. Perhaps it will participate in the next meeting.
