Zelensky: We support holding the second peace summit in India

2024-08-25 15:49:00, Kosova & Bota CNA

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has said that talks with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Switzerland for the second peace summit in Ukraine are continuing.

In a conversation with Indian journalists, which he shared on social media on Sunday, Zelensky also said he had told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he would support India in hosting the second peace summit in Ukraine.

Kiev is looking for a country from the Global South to host the next summit.

"However, I want to be honest, and this does not apply only to India, but to any country that wants to host the summit. "We will not be able to hold the summit in a country that has not yet joined the summit's joint declaration for peace," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian president added that he discussed all points of the declaration and the previous peace summit during Modi's visit to Kiev on Friday.

At the first Ukraine peace summit, held June 15-16 in Switzerland, senior officials from more than 90 countries called for Ukraine's "territorial integrity" to be the cornerstone of any peace deal to ended Russia's war.

But participants such as India, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were among those who did not sign the summit declaration.

The participants applauded the launch of the peace process, with the hope of holding a second summit in the near future. However, the fact that Moscow was not invited to that summit, and it itself has considered the event a waste of time, has raised doubts about whether there will be any other peace process in the future.

Although Russia was not mentioned in the final statement of the summit, it was said that "achieving peace requires the involvement of all parties in the dialogue".

The war in Ukraine started on February 24, 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin calls the war a "special military operation" to demilitarize Ukraine.

The West has responded to Russia, hitting the economy of this country with harsh sanctions.

As a result of the war, thousands of people have died and millions more have been displaced from their homes./ Rel
