Ukraine eyes several locations for second Global Peace Summit, says Foreign Ministry

“The process is still ongoing, and several venues are being considered,” he said without providing any further details.

“We cannot prematurely reveal all the cards while the diplomatic process is still ongoing.”

Kyiv maintains its position on the potential involvement of Russia in the summit. Ukraine has always been committed to peace, but it must be a fair and just peace.

“The question is not to bring Russia to the negotiating table, but to conduct these negotiations in good faith. Two factors are really important here: pressure on the battlefield and pressure in the international arena. These are two components,” Tykhyi said.
