Switzerland says Russia not invited 'at this stage' to Ukraine peace talks

The Swiss government said on Thursday that Russia has not been invited "at this stage" to talks to be held in Switzerland in mid-June aimed at helping bring about peace in the conflict between Moscow and Ukraine.

"Switzerland is convinced that Russia must be involved in this process," the Swiss government said in a statement. "A peace process without Russia is not possible."
