The Russian Federation is threatening participants of the Peace Summit with destabilization; however, this will not prevent the summit from taking place, states Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"We are preparing our diplomatic responses to Russia's attempts to undermine the Peace Summit, which will start in two weeks. Russia will not be able to disrupt the summit, despite its efforts. It is pressuring leaders and openly threatening various countries with destabilization," the head of state said.
He emphasized that these actions by the Russian Federation are a consequence of the world giving the terrorist state too much time.
"Unfortunately, evil knows how to adapt and is now using its resources to divide the world and prevent Russia from being forced into peace. But we already have nearly one hundred countries and international organizations joining the global efforts," the president stressed.
Global Peace Summit
In the second half of June, the Global Peace Summit, organized by Ukraine, will be held in Switzerland. RBC-Ukraine explained why this event will take place in Switzerland.
As of now, representatives from over 80 countries have confirmed their participation in the summit.
Additionally, in recent days, Zelenskyy personally invited US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to the summit. The United States has confirmed its participation in the Peace Summit but has not specified who will represent the country.
It is also noteworthy that the Russian Federation was not invited to this event. More details about this can be found in the material.
