Every war ends in peace, but this peace must be on terms that are fair to us - Andriy Yermak in the Amanpour program on the President's Peace Formula

The Ukrainian Peace Formula is a comprehensive set of solutions, the implementation of which will allow achieving sustainable and just peace in Ukraine, as well as creating a framework for security around the world based on the principles of the UN Charter and international law. This was stated by Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak during his participation in the Amanpour program on CNN.

Speaking to Christiane Amanpour, a leading international TV host, Andriy Yermak described the details of the meetings that the Ukrainian delegation recently held in Copenhagen with national security advisors and political advisors to the leaders of Brazil, the United Kingdom, Denmark, the EU, Italy, India, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Türkiye, Ukraine, France, and Japan on the implementation of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Peace Formula.

"We talked about the future. We talked about peace, about the principles of the United Nations. It was a very important and successful meeting. I look forward to continuing these consultations," he said.

Andriy Yermak said that the Ukrainian side emphasized that such consultations should be based on President Zelenskyy's Peace Formula. At the same time, Ukraine is ready to discuss its points with all states that respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, the principles of the UN and international law on which the Ukrainian Peace Formula is based.

According to him, the participants of the meeting positively noted this format of consultations and agreed to continue this work to further elaborate on the issue of holding the Global Peace Summit in the future.

Andriy Yermak also expressed Ukraine's position on expectations from the NATO Summit in Vilnius on July 11-12. In particular, the Head of the President's Office noted that Ukraine seeks to receive a clear signal regarding its future membership in the Alliance, as well as interim security guarantees until the moment of accession to the Alliance, which will help continue the fight against Russian aggression and prevent the recurrence of such invasions in the future.
