ISTANBUL: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed Wednesday that Russia is seeking to “disrupt” the Global Peace Summit on his 10-point peace formula scheduled for June in Switzerland.
‘We have precise intelligence information –specific data — that Russia not only wants to disrupt the Peace Summit, but also has a specific plan, how to do it, how to reduce the number of participating countries, how to act to ensure that there is no peace for even longer,’ he said during a meeting in Kyiv with foreign and Ukrainian ambassadors.
Expressing that Ukraine will share ‘specific plans and specific points’ of Russia’s plans at the diplomatic and intelligence level, Zelenskyy said: ‘Together we must counteract this, we must work in unity for a just peace.’
‘I am grateful to everyone who is helping and will help,’ he said, expressing it is important that the world majority attends the summit as the more active the world is in restoring peace in Ukraine, the more likely ‘similar aggressions’ do not take place
elsewhere.
‘It is not brute force that should determine the world order, but the UN Charter, and in unity we can force Russia to comply with international law. In June, at the summit, we will start agreeing on the first foundations of peace and put forward a shared global vision of how peace should work,’ he said.
Zelenskyy also said there are no state borders or natural barriers to prevent the ‘spread of radiation,’ as well as no nation that would ‘simply put up with the captivity or deportation of people by a hostile state.’
‘There is no nation that would accept that someone is turning its cities into ruins. The peace formula must work for everyone, and I ask all of you to help ensure that the world is truly united at the summit in Switzerland,’ he added.
Zelenskyy’s 10-point formula was laid out at the 2022 G20 summit in Indonesia, with its final step being the signing of a peace accord. It also focuses on issues such as nuclear safety, and food and energy security.
