Our source in the OP said that the Russian army's offensive in the Kharkiv direction is negatively affecting preparations for the summit in Switzerland. A number of participants from the Global South have refused to come, and those who plan to attend the summit do not want to sign a strict final document.
The Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, which will take place this summer, will not discuss ending the war, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a comment to Stern magazine.
“We will not be negotiating there to end the war. At best, it will be the beginning of a process that could lead to direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia,” he said.
According to the German leader, Switzerland will discuss the safety of nuclear power plants, grain exports, the issue of prisoner exchange, and the necessary ban on the use of nuclear weapons.
Scholz added that “one way or another, all of these topics are still in their infancy.”.
