Russia may participate in the second peace summit. However, it is not certain that the Kremlin's head, Vladimir Putin, will be present, said the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Bloomberg.
"If the next peace summit follows the plan we anticipate, the second summit assumes there will be a plan with all the points on how we see the end of the war, and the majority of the world will be on our side. If the plan is ready, we will organize the second peace summit, and representatives of the Russian Federation should be there. Who it will be, we will see," he said.
At the same time, the president said that he is not sure that Putin himself will represent Russia.
"It seems to me that he is afraid to leave Russia. Maybe by that time, there will be another person in the Kremlin, well, then there will be another," Zelenskyy added.
Peace summits
Ukraine expects to hold the second peace summit in Saudi Arabia by the end of the year.
The first peace summit was held in Switzerland on June 15-16. Ninety-two countries participated in the event. As a result of the summit, a final document was signed. Among those who refused to sign it were countries of the Global South, including Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and India.
