Zelenskyy to Erdogan: We do not see Russian representatives at inaugural Peace Summit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine and its partners are not considering the possibility of Russian representatives attending the inaugural Peace Summit to be held in Switzerland.
“Today we talked a lot about our Peace Formula. I am grateful for Mr. President’s support. I informed Mr. President about the preparations for the Global Peace Summit at the leader level, organized in Switzerland - the inaugural Peace Summit,” he said during a press conference with the Turkish President in Istanbul.
According to Zelenskyy, “it is obvious that Turkey’s special role deserves the leadership of your state to be shown at the Peace Summit and in the joint work of the world majority for the full implementation of the Peace Formula.”
“As for the very format of the inaugural summit: we do not see representatives of Russia at this summit. We do not see how they can invite people who block, destroy and kill everything. We want to get a result. The result of a just world and just a fair one for Ukraine,” said the president of Ukraine.
Therefore, Zelenskyy noted, “the initially civilized countries of the world will develop a detailed plan and will have results (following the results of the first Global Summit).”
“And only then will they attract representatives of Russia - precisely those who will be ready for a just world,” he concluded.
Earlier, during a press conference with Zelenskyy Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey is ready to host the Peace Summit, but with the participation of Russia.
