The Ukraine President revealed he is preparing for “the first Peace Summit in Switzerland in June, which will be the first real opportunity to bring a fair end to this war sooner”.
According to President Zelenskyy: “Russia’s entire Kharkiv operation boils down to its attempt to weaken our forces along the frontlines while trying to strengthen propaganda, which is also aimed at world leaders. Russia tries to show that it has the ability to shape the course of the war.
“Our goal is to thwart Russia’s attempt to expand the war, as well as to prevent the occupiers from breaking the frontline or undermining our diplomacy and efforts to bring a just peace closer.
“I held a long meeting today to discuss our preparations for the first Peace Summit in Switzerland in June, which will be the first real opportunity to bring a fair end to this war sooner.
“We are one month away from the summit. Our work continues. We have already received confirmations of attendance from countries on every continent. And we will certainly continue to work at all levels to ensure that the summit is fruitful.
“Ukraine and many other countries have seen so much Russian meanness and deception, as well as Russia’s repeated violations of agreements and pledges, that only the global majority is capable of forcing Russia to respect the UN Charter, international law, and genuine peace.”
