Details: He stated that Ukraine and Switzerland had finished sending out invitations to the Peace Summit, which will be held on 15-16 June.

Zelenskyy believes that this summit will be the first real chance to start restoring a just peace.

Quote: "All of us should understand that it is only global power that can force Russia into peace, and that is why we are working to involve as many participants as possible in the Summit in Switzerland and the corresponding communication. We must also be aware that Putin will try to disrupt this work, our efforts, and weaken Ukraine's positions through various manipulations and attacks by his terrorists.

All our positions – on the battlefield, in diplomacy and the information sphere – must be equally solid. For us to be able to exert pressure and achieve our goals, the occupiers must lose their ability to put pressure and gain anything for themselves. Hence, our strength, our capabilities, our weapons, our unity with partners must all work as one. And they will."

Background: 

• Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that heads of states and governments from all continents had been invited to attend the Peace Summit in Switzerland on 15-16 June.
• Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba explained that Ukraine currently sees no point in inviting Moscow to the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, adding that contacts with Russia will still be necessary after the international community consolidates its position.
