Zelenskiy has used as the basis for negotiations a peace plan he presented in late 2022 calling for a withdrawal of all Russian troops, the restoration of Ukraine’s post-Soviet borders and a means to bring Russia to account for its invasion.
The plan was the focal point of a “peace summit” hosted by Switzerland in June with members pledging to convene a second summit later this yr. Russia was not invited to the June summit and branded it as meaningless, although Ukraine and its allies say Moscow may attend the subsequent gathering.Â
