On Monday, Vladimir Zelensky suggested that Ukraine and its backers intend to hold a second ‘peace summit’ by November, when the presidential election in the US will take place.
He noted that there will be three separate meetings, focusing on energy security, freedom of navigation, and prisoner exchanges, to pave the way for another high-profile conference.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said last week that Moscow had no plans to attend any new summits on Ukraine dedicated to promoting what he called Kiev’s “dead-end and ultimatum-like… formula.’”
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova branded the first Swiss-hosted summit a “fiasco,” noting that almost half the delegations that were invited – including China – did not show up. She added that the gathering failed to establish a setting for talks on a sustainable peace.
The Swiss-hosted event focused on three points of Vladimir Zelensky ‘peace formula,’ including prisoner exchanges, nuclear security and food supplies.
The plan, first put forward by Kiev in late 2022, calls on Russia to withdraw from all territories Ukraine claims as its own, and was dismissed by Moscow as being detached from reality.

The fact they think they are in a position to dictate anything - tells you they aren’t serious
Which is obviously not a surprise
@ElectoralAlfiePatriot2yrs2Y
Zelensky has no power to negotiate anything. Moscow should negotiate a peace deal with Washington.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How important do you believe it is for international disagreements to be resolved through dialogue rather than conflict?
@9R23FBF2yrs2Y
What I bnelief when it comes this Ukraine and the Soviets, America acually shouldn't have gotten involved, b ut they did so, in saying that I feel some kind of peace treaty should be made and come to some agreement. United States always sticking there nose where it doesn't belongs
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is it possible to have a meaningful discussion about peace if those involved in the conflict aren't all present?
@9R23FBF2yrs2Y
There is no peace when one sde feels a certai n wah and the other side feels different.n this case I thin k the United States should try to talk to both sides and Russia needs to attend the 2nd Ukraine Peace Summit
@ContentLionDemocrat2yrs2Y
Whether Putin, Stoltenberg, Zelensky or Macron respond to the arrogance of Putin, the message is the same: Russia's threats against European countries must be ended either through diplomatic or military channels. In Europe we have had enough of the bellicose mouse in the Kremlin.
