Switzerland initiates the Ukraine Peace Summit to discuss major strategies to facilitate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine | WPN World People News

As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its third year, countries supporting Ukraine are showing signs of fatigue, and right-wing self-interest forces in Europe and America are on the rise. In response to Ukraine’s request, Switzerland will host the Ukraine Peace Summit in mid-June. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, seeking continued support from various countries, has called on U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping to both attend the summit.

The Ukraine Peace Summit is scheduled to take place on June 15 in Bürgenstock, Switzerland. The Swiss government has invited over 160 delegations to participate, and as of May 24, more than 70 countries or organizations have confirmed their attendance, including India, the President of the European Union, and Germany, among others. Half of these are from various European countries. Switzerland maintains an open attitude towards inviting Russia to the meeting, although it has not yet done so, and Russia has repeatedly expressed no interest in participating.

The summit will be based on discussions from recent months to debate a viable peace process for the future. This includes three parts: first, providing a platform for dialogue to achieve a comprehensive, fair, and lasting peace for Ukraine based on international law and the United Nations Charter; second, a common understanding of the possible framework to achieve this goal; and lastly, paving the way for both Russian and Ukrainian participation in the future peace process.

On May 27, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded to journalists’ questions, stating, “On the issue of the Ukraine crisis, China has always maintained an objective and fair position, insisting on promoting peace and encouraging talks. We encourage and support all efforts conducive to the peaceful resolution of the crisis, support the timely convening of an international peace conference that is recognized by both Russia and Ukraine, with equal participation from all parties, and fair discussion of all peace proposals. China is willing to continue communicating with the international community to promote a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.”
