"As for the format itself, we don't see any Russian representatives at this summit. We don't see how you can invite people who block, destroy and kill everything. We want to get a result. The result is a just peace, and it is just for Ukraine. Therefore, first, civilized countries will develop a detailed plan and have a result. And only then will they involve representatives of Russia, those who are ready for a just peace," Zelensky added.
