Zelenska emphasized that the summit participants would discuss the resilience of Ukraine and the world, as well as seek ways to exchange experience between countries.
I am grateful to them for their determination and principled commitment to stand together on days when the Russian aggressor does not stop attacking our peaceful cities. This courage—to act despite the threat—is very close to Ukrainians
As part of the summit, international experts, scholars, and public figures will join the discussions. Each country will present its own vision of resilience, and the results of the meeting are planned to be compiled in a special publication—the "Global Dictionary of Resilience."
