Several countries that attended the peace summit in Switzerland did not support the joint final communiqué. The reasons for this could be different, states the Deputy Head of the Presidential Office, Ihor Zhovkva.
"Each country has different reasons. In some countries, this (support for the communiqué - ed.) requires appropriate procedures. In one country, it requires a parliamentary decision. In some countries, there were representatives of such a level who could not make such a decision, such as foreign ministers. Upon their return, they must appeal to the leadership of their countries," the OP representative explained.
At the same time, Zhovkva reminded that the final communiqué is open. This means that any country can support it, even if it did not participate in the peace summit.
