A total of 101 countries of the world, including international organizations, are represented at the Peace Summit in Switzerland, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said during a joint statement with the President of Switzerland to the mass media in Bürgenstock.
“Today is the day of our joint success. Indeed, all of us together managed to give diplomacy a chance”, – said president.
As he emphasized, Ukraine never wanted this war. “This is a criminal and completely unprovoked aggression by Russia, and the only one who wanted it is Putin.”
“But in any case, peace is stronger,” Zelensky noted.
That is why, according to him, the Peace Formula was born. “The formula of the unity of the world majority for the sake of peace, for the full effectiveness of the goals and principles of the UN Charter, international law, and, therefore, global security. This is something that is close to every nation in the world,” he said.
“This is why it was possible to unite 101 countries and international organizations here in Switzerland. Today, such a number was registered here – at the first Peace Summit,” Zelenskyi said.
Another part of countries and leaders, as he emphasized, “showed interest in our summit and responded to the peace-making impulse of the Peace Formula – and even if they are not here today at the first summit, we managed to return to the world the idea that collective efforts can stop war and establish a just peace. This idea will definitely work – because peace has power.”
“I thank everyone who helped and will help,” summed up the President of Ukraine.
The evening before, the press service of the Swiss government reported that 100 delegations will take part in the Peace Summit, of which 92 represent states from around the world and eight are international organizations.
