Kyiv hopes Russia will attend 2nd Ukraine peace summit

PEACE SUMMIT. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius hold a press statement after a visit to a military training area in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, north-eastern Germany, on Tuesday where Ukrainian soldiers are trained on the ‘Patriot’ air defense missile system.

“For the second summit, we will be working with all colleagues, with all countries who will be interested to be involved,” Yermak told European media organizations, via video link from Berlin. On Monday, Swiss President Viola Amherd said the summit aimed to find paths towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine, based on international law, and define a framework for involving both warring parties in a future peace process.

“We think it’s already a success because it’s a big number of countries” attending, and “from all continents”, said Yermak. Of Russia’s allies, China is staying away, while Brazil and South Africa also seem likely to be absent. “We are ready to listen to the position of China,” said Yermak, hoping they would join the process sooner rather than later.
