Ukraine is set to hold a first global summit aimed at broadening support for Kyiv’s peace plan and dialling up pressure on Moscow to end the war.
Some 80 world leaders are expected at the Swiss resort of Bürgenstock on Saturday and Sunday, where President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to appeal to nations that have been indifferent to his nation’s plight, more than two years after Russia’s full-scale invasion. He will home in on three of the 10 points in his peace plan: nuclear safety, food security and return of Ukrainians, including children, being held by Russia.
The remaining points, which include the full retreat of Russian forces from Ukrainian territory, would be tackled at a later stage, officials said.
