Russia is planning to disrupt the Global Peace Summit to be held in Switzerland in June, President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a meeting with representatives of partner countries in Kyiv on April 24.

Zelensky told those in the meeting, “We have accurate information from intelligence – specific data – that Russia not only wants to disrupt the Peace Summit, but also has a specific plan to do so: how to reduce the participation of countries, how to act to ensure that there is no peace for even longer. And we must counteract this together - we must work in unity for a just peace.”

The President said that Ukraine would provide all this information to the special services of the countries planning to participate in the summit.

According to him, the meeting in Switzerland is important because it will present the world’s vision of what peace in Ukraine should look like.

Earlier, Zelensky said that Russia would not attend the inaugural Peace Summit in Switzerland, but that some “representatives of the continents” would hand over the details of the peace plan developed there to Moscow.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated, “We have said many times that the negotiation process without Russia makes no sense.”

Zelensky promised not to sit down with Vladimir Putin, saying, “He is a murderer, and he has killed many of our people.”

No Peace talks with russia under its current leadership.



It's time for a consortium of allies to join in Ukraine's fight and decisively defeat putins orc invaders.



Afterwords , sanctions must continue until russia accepts full accountability / cost for all crimes and damages suffered by the victim nation.

For two two decades the world has suffered the intentional malfeasance of deviant KGB putins' regime. It is all it knows how to contribute to the world: lies, hate, oppression, theft, murder.

The world will be so much better off after putin's regime has been disposed of by the russian people. They should take advantage of putin's currently weakened despot protecting military state; complements of his own criminal debacle in in Ukraine.
