The peaceful summit in Saudi Arabia over the past weekend has been a breakthrough for Ukraine, demonstrating the potential for uniting nations around President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's formula for peace, according to a statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, cited by Reuters.
"If a country wants to be in the front seat of world politics, it has to become part of these coordination meetings," Dmytro Kuleba said, referring to the talks in Jeddah and a smaller event earlier this summer in Copenhagen.
Kuleba noted that the number of countries interested in participating in peace talks had significantly increased in recent weeks. He added that these developments laid a crucial foundation for future negotiations concerning Ukraine's peaceful vision.
"I believe the meeting in Jeddah was a breakthrough because for the first time, we brought together countries representing (the) entire world, not only Europe and North America," Kuleba
