Zelensky invites Switzerland to join preparations for Global Peace Summit
He said this in his video address to the Swiss parliament, Ukrinform reports.
"Last year, in the autumn, at the G19 Summit, I presented the Ukrainian Peace Formula. Different states and leaders are already involved in efforts to implement the Formula. It is designed so that everyone in the world can choose the component of restoring peace and security they can help implement most effectively. [...] In March, in our conversation with Mr. President of Switzerland, Mr. Berset, I presented the points of the Peace Formula and our approach to its implementation. And now I invite all of you, ladies and gentlemen, all of you, Switzerland, to join the preparation of the Global Peace Summit and show your leadership in the part of the Formula where you consider your national experience to be most useful for the world and peace," Zelensky said.
He noted that there are partners who have chosen radiation and food security. "There are partners who are ready to help with the return of children who have been deported to the aggressor's territory by the Russian occupiers and are being kept away from their families and Ukraine. Thousands and thousands of children stolen by Russia! We must bring them all home, back to Ukraine. There are partners who are ready to help with the restoration of justice and protection from ecocide and mine clearance," he said.
Zelensky thanked Switzerland for not remaining indifferent to the suffering that Russia is bringing to our land with its aggression and for supporting joint European sanctions against Russia. "This is an important solidarity, because sanctions bring the end of this aggression closer. They should be intensified," he said.
In November 2022, Zelensky presented a ten-point Ukrainian Peace Formula in a speech to the participants in the G20 summit.
In his address at the G7 summit in Hiroshima in May, Zelensky proposed holding an international summit in July dedicated to the Ukrainian Peace Formula.
