In his nightly video address, President Zelenskiy said "nearly 100 countries and international organisations" were now associated with "global efforts" to resolve the conflict. "It is putting pressure on leaders, openly threatening various countries with destabilisation. And this is one of the consequences of the world giving the terrorist state too much time."

The summit's Swiss hosts have not invited Russia and Moscow dismisses the event as pointless without its participation.
