Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak held a meeting with the heads of 82 foreign diplomatic missions of Ukraine to discuss preparations for the first Peace Summit at the level of heads of state and government.
The event was also attended by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba, Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Ihor Zhovkva, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Mykola Tochytskyi, Advisors to the Head of the Presidential Office Dariia Zarivna and Oleksandr Bevz.
Andriy Yermak noted that active preparations are underway for the Peace Summit in Switzerland agreed upon during a meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President of the Swiss Confederation Viola Amherd in mid-January.
He said that the Ukrainian side has prepared its vision of the draft outcome of the Summit.
"Of course, it will focus on the key common principles of respect for international law, the UN Charter, elaboration of a joint plan to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting peace, and restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity within the 1991 borders," emphasized Andriy Yermak.
The Head of the President's Office reminded that after the first inaugural Peace Summit, Ukraine suggests holding a series of thematic international conferences and high-level meetings on key points of the Peace Formula.
"They will be based on the groundwork of the working groups set up for each point of the Peace Formula. There are draft documents for each of the points and preparatory work has been done on decisions to be made at different levels," he added.
In addition, the parties discussed the status of accession to the G7 Joint Declaration of Support for Ukraine of July 12, 2023, which has already been joined by 32 states.
The participants of the meeting also discussed the work on the implementation of the Environmental Compact for Ukraine, which was presented a few days ago by the International Working Group on the Environmental Consequences of War.
According to Andriy Yermak, it is the basis for a corresponding international event and decisions regarding point eight of President Zelenskyy's Peace Formula, 'Ecological Safety'.
