British Ambassador: There can't be a discussion about peace for Ukraine without Ukraine being part of it.

The first world summit showcased global support for the principles of the United Nations (UN) regarding the resolution of the war in Ukraine. At the same time, there is another principle stating that there cannot be a dialogue concerning Kyiv without its participation.

This was shared by the British Ambassador to Ukraine, Martin Harris, in an interview with RBK-Ukraine.

"The fact that nearly 100 countries attended the peace summit in Switzerland indicates worldwide support for these UN principles, and this should be the foundation for a just peace here in Ukraine," the ambassador stated.

He added that all countries should adhere to the main principles of the UN when it comes to ending the war in Ukraine. This is particularly emphasized during discussions with China, India, or other members of the G20.

"There is also a fundamental principle that there cannot be discussions about peace for Ukraine without Ukraine. Thus, I believe that through such diplomatic pressure, along with military pressure, we can influence Russia's position and achieve a just peace for Ukraine and security for Europe as a whole," Harris noted.

Peace Summit

The Office of the President of Ukraine announced that the second Peace Summit will take place after a joint peace plan is agreed upon, which includes 10 points defined by Ukraine's "peace formula." It was initially expected that the summit could occur before the end of the current year; however, Russia has repeatedly expressed its unwillingness to participate in this event.

Meanwhile, the advisor to the head of the President's Office, Daria Zarivna, noted that the date of the next meeting will be announced after a series of thematic conferences planned before the end of October.
