Yermak: Ukraine could invite Russia to global peace summit in future.

Ukraine could invite representatives from Russia to a future peace summit if an upcoming meeting of global leaders in Switzerland proves successful, Andriy Yermak, Ukraine's Presidential Office head, said at the "Ukraine. Year 2024" forum on Feb.

Over 160 countries will be invited to discuss Kyiv's peace formula and create a joint document on what needs to be done to restore the country's sovereignty. If successful, the document could be presented to representatives from Russia at a second, future summit. "They would be presented with this document in case whoever is representing the aggressor country at that time really wants to end this war and return to a just peace," Yermak said, as quoted by a Kyiv Independent reporter.

"Everything that we understand by a just peace is set out in our peace formula." Yermak noted that the participating countries have different opinions and motivations on how to end the war. Nevertheless, they all recognize Ukraine's independence and are ready to join the peace process, he added.

"A personal meeting of leaders is very important, where what we have been talking about all these months at the level of ambassadors and advisors will be recorded," he said. The "Ukraine. Year 2024" forum, which took place a day after the two-year anniversary of the full-scale invasion, discussed achieving Ukraine's goals in the war, developing its defense and security forces, implementing Ukraine's peace formula, ensuring economic growth and integration into world markets, security guarantees, the status of its military-industrial complex, and protecting the lives of Ukrainians.
