President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that the leader of the US shouldn’t miss the Peace Summit in Switzerland.
He stated this during a press conference with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo on May 28.
“I think that the Peace Summit needs President Biden, other leaders need him as they seek the reaction from the United States of America. His absence would only be applauded by Putin, personally applauded by Putin, and it would be a standing ovation,” the leader of Ukraine stressed.
He made clear Ukraine appreciates that the US will be represented at the conference. However, it is still not clear who exactly will appear in Bürgenstock to voice the position of the US.
“I believe that this is not a very strong decision, with all due respect to every person in the United States of America,” Zelenskyy said.
As of today, Ukraine is looking forward to a response from China, Brazil and several African countries about their attendance.
Previously, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell revealed that Russia is making everything to keep BRICS members away from attending the Peace Summit in Switzerland.
