Amid the 840-day war between Russia and Ukraine, the Peace Summit will begin today at Bergenstock Resort in Switzerland. This 2-day summit will be the fourth summit so far to stop the war. Earlier, three summits have been held in Copenhagen, Jeddah and Malta.
According to news agency AP, Swiss officials had invited 160 countries for the conference, out of which leaders or representatives of about 90 countries including India will participate in it. However, many big countries refused to attend it. At the same time, Russia has not been invited for this summit.
Russia’s important ally China has also decided to stay away from this summit. Brazil, the current president of the G20, has also done the same. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will also not participate in the summit. US President Joe Biden, Ukraine’s biggest supporter, will also not attend this summit. However, Vice President Kamala Harris will be present in his place.
4 thousand soldiers deployed for security in Switzerland
4 thousand soldiers have been deployed for the security of the world leaders gathering in Switzerland. Apart from this, a steel ring has been placed near the venue. Fencing has been done in the area of 6.5 kilometers around it. A net of 8 kilometers long wires has also been laid here.
The Swiss military has been entrusted with the responsibility of security in the area. Their Air Force is constantly monitoring the area. 5 military helicopters have been deployed to protect the heliport built near the venue. Apart from this, double layer fencing has also been done there.
PM Modi said – the issue will be resolved through talks
Before the summit, PM Modi met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Italy on Friday. The PM told Zelensky that India supports a peaceful solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This war can be ended only through diplomacy and talks.
After this meeting, Zelensky posted that India is sending a high-level delegation to the Ukraine Peace Summit. He hoped that at least 100 countries would gather at the summit.
Putin said – Ukraine should give up its insistence on joining NATO to end the war
A day before the Switzerland Peace Summit, a statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin also came out. He said that the war against Ukraine will stop only when the Ukrainian army withdraws from the four areas claimed by Russia. Also, Ukraine will give up its insistence on joining NATO.
Apart from this, Ukraine will also have to remove the army deployed on its borders and Western countries will have to end the sanctions imposed on Russia. This is the first time in two years of the Russia-Ukraine war that Putin has openly put forward the conditions to end the war.
However, Ukraine has rejected these conditions of Putin. Ukraine has called it a pretense and absurd. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on this ultimatum that he does not trust Putin.
At the G7 summit in Italy, he said that Putin is plotting the same conspiracy that Nazi leader Hitler had hatched to capture Europe in 1930 and 1940. Hitler had also said that if you give us Czechoslovakia, we will stop the war. Putin is also saying the same thing. We cannot trust him.
