The purpose of the peace summit, which is to be held in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, is to bring together various countries and organizations to discuss ways to achieve peace in Ukraine. Originally intended to establish a framework for peace negotiations, the hope is that by garnering international support for the Ukrainian cause while isolating Moscow, a lasting solution can be reached.
A variety of topics will be discussed at the summit, including food safety, the return of prisoners and abducted children, and nuclear safety concerns. Nearly 60 heads of state and government are expected to attend, with more than 90 countries and organizations committed to exploring pathways to peace in Ukraine.
Despite the presence of many international leaders at the summit, some key countries and organizations have chosen not to attend. Russia, which was not invited, has made efforts to undermine its legitimacy by pressuring friendly countries to withdraw. President Putin has expressed skepticism about the summit’s ability to address the conflict in Ukraine, arguing that without Russian involvement, a peaceful solution is impossible.
The organizers remain committed to facilitating peace talks and finding a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. The presence of so many international leaders underscores the importance of working together towards achieving peace in the region.
