The President of Colombia will not participate in the “Ukraine Peace” meeting in Switzerland
report Mehr News, citing Sputnik, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that he has changed his mind about participating in the Ukraine peace meeting hosted by Switzerland, because the meeting follows There is no peace between Ukraine and Kyiv.
He published a message on X social network (former Twitter) and wrote: The scenario of the peace meeting in Switzerland, the scenario of a free summit to discuss ways to achieve There is no peace between Russia and Ukraine. The results are already determined… I will stop my trip to the Swiss meeting and ask Europe to discuss ways to achieve peace. End the war, not prolong it.”
In this regard, the Bloomberg news agency, in a report referring to the so-called peace conference of Ukraine, which is currently being hosted by Switzerland, wrote that this summit is in danger of failure. And ending without achieving a peace settlement is in the war in Ukraine.
This news agency has emphasized that the efforts of this summit to find a way for a “just peace” are probably futile. Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the president of Ukraine, has pledged to work to expand international support, but “the absence of China in this two-day summit and the presence of lower-level diplomats from the BRICS countries have cast doubt on Kiev’s efforts to gain support from the global south.” »
Bloomberg further wrote: More than 90 countries have sent their diplomatic delegations to this summit, but the list of participants shows that efforts to gain maximum support among leaders , the task is extremely difficult.
Switzerland is hosting the Ukraine Peace Summit today and tomorrow in the recreation area of Burgenstock. Bern has invited more than 160 diplomatic delegations, including G7, G20 and BRICS countries, to this summit. However, the organizers announced on the eve of the summit that not all of these countries will send diplomatic delegations, and that 90 countries will attend, plus the autonomous region of Kosovo in Serbia, along with eight international organizations. According to the list, 55 countries have sent their respective heads of state or government, and the number of Western countries is far more than others in this respect, and as a result, there is not much hope for balanced negotiations and deliberations.
Russia is not among the guests. Most of the countries that are members of the United Nations have not sent a delegation. For example, China is not on the list of participants, and Brazil is merely an observer. The Republic of Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Egypt, Iran, China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Syria, Ethiopia and many other countries are not willing to attend!
In this conference, three issues including humanitarian, nuclear and food security issues will be discussed. Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized yesterday that it is impossible to achieve a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine without Russia’s participation and frank dialogue.
