Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba explained that Ukraine sees no point in inviting Russia to the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, citing failed diplomatic talks between 2014-2022 that ended in a large-scale invasion.

Ukraine currently sees no point in inviting Moscow to the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, adding that contacts with Russia will still be necessary after the international community consolidates its position.

Kuleba noted that between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine had almost 200 rounds of talks with Russia in different formats, with mediators and bilaterally. But nothing worked. It ended up in a large-scale invasion.

Kuleba said there are two ways to achieve a situation where the Kremlin would start to act in good faith: success on the battlefield, or having a coalition of countries who share the same principles and approaches.

Russia, the aggressor in the ongoing war, will not be invited 'at this stage' of the talks
