Josep Borrell believes Russia putting so much efforts into derailing the Peace Summit arranged by Ukraine and its allies only serves as obvious proof it is a major event.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said this as he arrived to the Foreign Affairs Council (Defence) in Brussels on May 28.
“If they [Russians] don’t want other countries to join the peace summit in Switzerland so much it means the forum is truly important,” – Borrell stressed.
Borrell revealed that Russia is particularly pushing BRICS members to abstain from attending the Peace Summit in Switzerland.
During a press conference with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, President Zelenskyy mentioned the same issue and added that Russia will strive to arrange its own format of ‘peace talks’.
“Putin is afraid of this summit, trying to disrupt it and arrange some kind of parallel platform. That is why there are leaders who have not yet spoken out. If there are those who can support Russia, they are supporting the war today,” the leader of Ukraine said.
Previously, Zelenskyy stated that 90 countries have confirmed their attendance at the Peace Summit which will take place in Switzerland on June 15-16.
