The event will take place in Switzerland from 15-16 June. Kyiv invited world leaders and officials from all continents to participate to establish ways to push Russia to end its aggression against Ukraine.

During the meeting, Yermak said: “Today, there is a real chance to take a crucial step towards ending this horrific war.” He emphasised that Ukraine’s victory in the war, the restoration of a just peace, and bringing all of the prisoners of war and deported children are top priorities for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team.
