Ukraine and its Western backers are planning to hold an international summit to increase support for Kyiv’s terms for a settlement to the conflict with Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
While being sold as a peace summit, the plan does not involve inviting Russians. Andriy Yermak, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, reiterated Kyiv’s position that it won’t hold talks with Moscow unless Russia withdraws from all the territory it has captured, a position that is a non-starter for negotiations.
