On June 15-16, the Swiss government will hold a two-day high-level conference aimed at achieving peace in Ukraine, Reuters reports, citing a government statement.
Earlier in January, Switzerland announced that it would host the peace summit at the request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and has since held talks with the EU, G7 member states, and countries such as China and India to secure their support.
“There is now sufficient international support for a high-level conference to launch the peace process,” the Federal Council said in a statement.
The conference will be held at the Burgenstock resort in the canton of Nidwalden near the city of Lucerne. Its goal is to create a framework conducive to a comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine, as well as “a concrete roadmap for Russia’s participation in the peace process.”
The Swiss authorities have not yet disclosed the full list of participants.
