Swiss Peace Conference|From Finland, President Alexander Stubb will participate in the meeting in Switzerland. Stubb will speak to Finnish journalists at around 17:00.
in Switzerland the high-level peace conference on the war in Ukraine started on Saturday. Its goal is to form a common vision on how to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
There are 90 countries around the world participating in the meeting held on a Swiss mountain. 160 invitations were sent, a large part to so-called third countries. For years, Russia has been wooing countries to its side, for example in Africa and South America. They are now trying to get them to support Ukraine.
Russia has not been invited. Russia’s influential supporter China is also not participating. From Finland, the president will participate in the meeting Alexander Stubb. President of the United States Joe Biden does not participate, the country is represented by the vice president Terrible Harris.
Stubb will speak to Finnish journalists on Saturday around 17:00. In connection with this article, HS shows Ilta-Sanomi’s live broadcast of the press conference.
Ukraine has told the meeting a few goals, such as discussions on the return of children kidnapped by Russia, nuclear safety and the Black Sea grain route.
The peace conference will be held in the Bürkenstock resort near Lucerne. The meeting is protected by around 4,000 soldiers from the Swiss armed forces, and the country’s air force monitors the airspace, which is closed to other traffic for the weekend.
Peace meeting is the first of its kind, and it is organized in a difficult situation.
Russia has managed to advance in addition to the Kharkov region on the eastern front. No breakthrough help is coming from the West at the moment. The fringe parties criticizing Ukraine’s arms aid were successful in the European elections.
Actually, the meeting is not even an actual peace meeting, but a preparatory meeting for a possible future peace meeting. Over the weekend in Switzerland, Ukraine will feel how much support it has around the world in general for the continuation of the defensive struggle.
