(Keystone-ATS) Russia announced on Saturday that it would not participate in the second summit on Ukraine planned by kyiv in November after a first edition in June in Bürgenstock (NW). President Volodymyr Zelensky had said he wanted Moscow to be present this time.
“The summit will have the same goals: to promote the illusory ‘Zelensky formula’ as any basis for resolving the conflict, to gain the support of the majority of the world and to use it to present Russia with an ultimatum of capitulation,” Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
“We will not participate in such ‘summits’,” she added.
The Ukrainian presidency had stated at the end of August that it would find it “fair” for the second summit for peace in Ukraine to be held in the following months in a country of the “Global South”, mentioning India. The first summit intended to see proposals emerge to resolve the Russo-Ukrainian conflict was held in central Switzerland with some 90 countries, but without Russia or China.
