The point is for Russia to negotiate in good faith: Foreign Ministry on Russia's possible presence at the second Peace Summit

The question is not to bring Russia to the negotiating table, but to negotiate in good faith . Two factors affect Russia's ability to negotiate in good faith: pressure on the battlefield and pressure in the international arena. This was announced by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Georgiy Tykhyi during a briefing, commenting on the possible presence of Russia at the second Peace Summit,  reports a correspondent of UNN.

"Indeed, Ukraine has said many times that it is possible to involve Russia in the second Peace Summit. We continue to adhere to this position. The point is that it should be very clear to everyone that Ukraine did not start this war," Tychy said.

 He emphasized that Ukraine wants peace more than anyone else, but it must be achieved on fair terms.

"We understand that this must be a just peace. The question is not to bring Russia to the negotiating table, but to conduct these negotiations in good faith. Two factors are important here. Minister Kuleba has repeated this many times. Two factors are important: pressure on the battlefield and pressure in the international arena. These two components are what really affect Russia's ability, Russia's willingness to negotiate in good faith. Therefore, Ukraine will continue this work. If Russia continues to refuse, I think the whole world will understand who wants peace and who wants war," said Tychy.

Addendum

President Volodymyr   Zelenskyy believesthat Russian representatives should be at the second Peace Summit.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin statedthat Russia is not going to participate in the second peace summit on Ukraine, despite the fact that Kyiv wants to invite representatives of the Russian Federation.
