MOSCOW, June 25 Head of Vladimir Zelensky's Office Andriy Yermak said in a telegram channel that Kiev would like to hold a so-called global «peace summit» in Ukraine.
Earlier, the Financial Times, citing sources, reported that US Assistant to the President for National Security Jake Sullivan and US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland will travel to Copenhagen on June 24-25 to meet with representatives of Brazil, India, South Africa, and Turkey to discuss the situation in Ukraine. . There is no information that China will take part in it at a high level. According to the publication, Kyiv requested a meeting with countries that did not condemn Russia's actions.
«Important meeting of advisers in Copenhagen. <…> I have announced venues that could become a possible venue for a global peace summit. First, I proposed Ukraine as the most desirable option for us. By the way, many countries have already expressed their readiness to host this summit, including such international venues as the UN General Assembly,» Yermak wrote.
According to him, the meeting was attended by national security advisers and political advisers from Brazil, the UK, Denmark, the EU, Italy, India, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Turkey, Ukraine, France and Japan, the main topic discussion of the Ukrainian formula for peace began, the parties agreed to continue this format of consultations.
Earlier, Zelensky confirmed that a summit was being organized to discuss his proposed peace plan. Kyiv wants the meeting to cover as many countries as possible.
At the beginning of June, a source in Moscow noted that the so-called peace summit that Zelensky is trying to convene has as little to do with a peaceful settlement as his formula for peace; everyone who agrees to participate in it will automatically come out as supporters of the continuation of the armed confrontation.
Moscow has repeatedly indicated that it is ready for negotiations, but Kyiv has imposed a ban on them at the legislative level. The West is constantly calling on the Russian Federation to negotiate, for which Moscow is showing readiness, but at the same time, the West ignores Kyiv's constant refusals to engage in dialogue. Earlier, the Kremlin stated that there are no prerequisites for the transition of the situation in Ukraine to a peaceful course, the absolute priority for Russia is to achieve the goals of the special operation, at the moment this is possible only by military means. As stated in the Kremlin, the situation in Ukraine can stabilize if the de facto situation and new realities are taken into account, all Moscow's demands are well known.
