Global Peace Summit shows strong support for Ukraine, says Jan Marian
The Global Peace Summit in Switzerland was praised by Czech Deputy Foreign Minister Jan Marian as "extremely important" and "a great signal of long-term support for Ukraine's peace plan," Ukrinform reported on June 16.
"It is important that the process continues, and perhaps one day Russia will be involved. This is not a discussion about peace; this is a discussion about supporting the Ukrainian peace plan," he said, noting that Russia is nervous about this.
Despite Moscow's pressure, the summit, attended by 100 delegations from around the world, including South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, is considered a success by Prague.
Marian also emphasized the importance of military support for Ukraine and criticized Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's threats on the eve of the summit, which highlighted the nature of his regime.
"When Putin talks about peace, it means peace as he sees it, peace on his terms. It is not peace; it is capitulation. We have to understand that."
Earlier in the day, Reuters published the full text of the draft declaration from the June 15-16 Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, where participating countries condemned Russia’s war against Ukraine and emphasized nuclear plant operation, prisoner release, and safe commercial shipping in the Black and Azov seas.
