Ukraine and Switzerland urge countries to support peace plan in Davos
The meetings on the peace formula presented by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could not lead to results if Russia did not participate, for obvious reasons. “Without our participation, any discussion has no prospects.”
Almost two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the future of Ukraine was the focus of a meeting between the Kiev government and representatives of over 80 countries and organisations in Davos on Sunday.
