In just a few days, together with the German Chancellor and other leaders of Europe and the world, we will meet in Switzerland for the inaugural peace summit. Russia tried to disrupt this summit, but it will take place. And this is a common success of Ukraine and dozens of countries. Usually, after a war, circumstances were determined either by the victors or by a few strong ones who intervened and imposed something on everyone else against their will. Now we propose a fundamentally different format, so that no one can manipulate or disrupt the agreements, as Russia has done many times
He noted that countries from all parts of the world will be represented at the peace summit.
"Everyone has a common goal - we have started step by step restoring security and moving towards real peace. Begin step by step to restore the effectiveness of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international law that guarantee the sovereignty, territorial integrity of states, as well as the rights of people. We want to give diplomacy a chance and have gathered about a hundred States for this purpose. Ukraine has never relied solely on the power of arms," Zelensky added.
Recall
Currently, 90 States and organizations have registered to participate in the peace summit, which aims to pave the way for peace in Ukraine, which Switzerland will hold on June 15-16.
