Ukraine expects the Global Peace Summit that will take place in Switzerland on June 15-16 to be attended by the state leaders from all continents who respect international law and the principles of the UN Charter.
The Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak said this on the air of the United News telethon.
He emphasized that the main idea of the Global Peace Summit is to return to the principles of international law, which can protect any country from the actions of aggressors. This is the approach that should dominate international relations.
"It is necessary to return a just peace to the Ukrainian land, to restore respect for international law and the UN Charter. And, of course, we need to consolidate the responsible countries to further support Ukraine and to show that all these countries are interested in the war ending," said Andriy Yermak.
The Head of the President's Office stated that the notion of a just peace is not only the end of the war, but also the restoration of territorial integrity and sovereignty, the return of all Ukrainian POWs and illegally deported children.
"It is important for Ukraine that the Global Peace Summit is attended by as many countries as possible. That is why everyone is involved: the government, the parliament, and the Presidential Office – everyone is working to make the world speak about the Peace Summit and encourage leaders to participate in it," emphasized Andriy Yermak.
According to him, China's participation is particularly important. Therefore, diplomats at all levels are working to ensure that representatives of this country join the Global Peace Summit.
The Head of the President's Office also emphasized that the aggressor state of Russia will not participate in the first Peace Summit. This is Ukraine's principled position.
