The second peace summit may take place before the presidential election in the United States, says the Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis.

According to him, the goal of the next summit will be to pave the way for peace in Ukraine.

Kassis noted that the next meeting will be held in the next 5 months, probably before the US presidential election in November.

However, it is not yet known where exactly this meeting will take place.

First peace summit

This weekend, Switzerland hosted the first peace summit initiated by Ukraine. It was attended by representatives from over 100 countries and international organizations. Some of them signed a joint communiqué at the end of the event.

As explained by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, the document will be open and countries will be able to sign the declaration even after the summit is over.
