“Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Viola Amherd agreed to continue working on involving as many countries as possible to participate in the summit to develop a common vision for the practical achievement of a just, sustainable, and comprehensive peace for Ukraine,” the press release on the President’s Office website reads.

The summit is the next step in the efforts to implement the Ukrainian Peace Formula, which has so far resulted in meetings between ambassadors of over 80 countries accredited in Ukraine, and four meetings of national security advisors that were held in Copenhagen, Jeddah, Malta and Davos, the President’s Office reported.
