Pavel accepted the invitation from Zelensky, he will go to the peace summit. Russia is not interested

President Petr Pavel confirmed his participation in the upcoming conference on peace in Ukraine, to which he was invited by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi. The summit will be held in Switzerland from June 15 to 16.

A number of leading European politicians have already accepted the invitation, including representatives from Germany, the Netherlands or the European Council. In total, around 160 were invited, but the aggressor in the war himself has not yet been invited to the summit. According to Moscow, Russia is not even interested in participating. But the Swiss foreign minister confirmed that sooner or later representatives of Russia will also be invited to the meeting, writes The Kyiv Independent.

“Together, we are interested in achieving the broadest possible agreement among the countries of the world on the terms of a peaceful solution. This is an important step to end the suffering of war and bring a just peace to Ukraine,” said Petr Pavel on his profile on the X social network about the planned meeting.

Today, on the same social network, Zelenskyy praised the help of the Czech Republic to Ukraine. “I spoke with President Pavlo and expressed my gratitude for the Czech initiative with artillery ammunition. Its rapid implementation will have a significant impact on the battlefield. We discussed our ongoing defense cooperation and the priority needs of Ukrainian defenders. President Pavel further confirmed his participation in the peace summit,” he said.

The negotiations themselves should be based on the ten-point peace plan that Zelenskyy presented already in 2022 at the G20 summit. Among other things, this includes punishing those responsible for war crimes, withdrawing all Russian troops from the territory and restoring the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia took place regularly from 2014 until 2022. After the revelation of war crimes committed by the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine, the negotiations were interrupted.
