Ukraine's Kuleba says peace summit final text considers Kyiv's positions

Ukraine's positions have been considered in the final communique for the peace summit in Switzerland, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.

He told reporters at the Bürgenstock resort that the text was complete and "balanced."

The final communique from the summit has yet to be officially released.

Kuleba also said no alternative peace plans had been discussed at the two-day event, attended by world leaders, to demand an end to Russia's invasion.

He also hinted that Russia could be involved in a future summit but not if the Kremlin insists that Kyiv cedes the four regions of Ukraine under partial Russian occupation and drops its goal of joining NATO.

"Of course, we...understand perfectly that a time will come when it will be necessary to talk to Russia," he said. "But our position is very clear: We will not allow Russia to speak in the language of ultimatums like it is speaking now."

Meanwhile, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer warned that the talks were not headed for a unanimous joint declaration.

Ukraine summit seeks to pressure Russia to end war

A draft of the final declaration from the Ukraine Peace Summit in Switzerland is expected to restate international condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and call for the restoration of Kyiv's control over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and its Azov Sea ports.

The draft, seen by news agencies, also calls for Ukraine's territorial integrity to be respected and for the return of thousands of illegally deported children

Ukraine says about 20,000 children have been taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territory without the consent of family or guardians since the war began. Moscow insists it is protecting vulnerable children from a war zone.

World leaders have gathered in the Swiss resort of Bürgenstock for a second day of the summit Sunday in a bid to bolster international support for ending the conflict.

US Vice President Kamala Harris, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz along with representatives of 90 countries are taking part in the Ukraine Peace Summit, but not Russia or China.
