World leaders pose for a photograph during the Summit on peace in Ukraine, at the luxury Burgenstock resort, near Lucerne. A draft declaration calls for Ukraine control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and Azov Sea ports.Western powers and countries from the rest of the world will use the second day of a major summit in Switzerland on Sunday to pursue a consensus on condemning Russia 's invasion of Ukraine and underscoring concerns about the war's human cost.
Some leaders are expected to depart early and talks on Sunday will turn toward pursuing a joint position on the need for nuclear and food security, and the return of prisoners of war and children removed from Ukraine during the conflict. Kyiv says about 20 000 children have been taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territory without the consent of family or guardians since the war began. Spain's President Pedro Sanchez attends the plenary session of the Summit on peace in Ukraine, at the luxury Burgenstock resort, near Lucerne.
Saudi Arabia is one of the favourites, and Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said the kingdom was ready to assist the peace process, but warned that a viable settlement would hinge on"difficult compromise". Striking a balance in the summit's final declaration between forthright condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and wording that commands the broadest possible support has been part of the diplomatic tug-of-war at the event, sources say.
