Quote: "We propose that it is called the European Community of Peace. The word ‘peace’ in this idea is not only peace as such; it applies to all spheres – economy, energy security, [and] military security."
Details: According to him, the vision of the format was laid out by Zelenskyy in his speech, where he spoke about how the European Peace Community found support among the participants. "If in the end they agree to it, then this format will have [a certain] meaning," added Zhovkva.
He also noted that Ukraine seems to be the only one among the participants to submit its proposals regarding this format. "At least, I haven't heard of any meaningful proposals from other states, unless they were submitted after the event," Zhovkva said.
