Russia Rejects Second Ukraine Peace Summit Proposal

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that Moscow would not accept ultimatums to participate in a second peace summit on Ukraine, proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The first summit, hosted in Switzerland last month, saw participation from 92 countries but excluded Russia.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has stated on Thursday that any attempts to involve Russia in a second peace summit on Ukraine are considered ultimatums, which Moscow would not accept. This announcement comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pushes for a peace plan scheduled for November.

Last month, a first summit on Ukraine was held in Switzerland with the participation of delegations from 92 countries. However, Russia was not invited to the event and dismissed it as a waste of time.
