The helicopters were carrying world leaders and delegations to a summit called to sketch out a path towards ending Russia\u2019s war on its neighbour. It was Kyiv\u2019s chance to battle the full-scale invasion with full-scale diplomacy, as Volodymyr Zelensky put it, and get as broad support as possible for a peace plan shaped by Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately the idea is to present that plan to Russia with such international consensus behind it, Moscow has no alternative but to accept.<br \/>\nBut that point, if it&#8217;s ever possible, still looks a very long way off. On the eve of the summit, Vladimir Putin made clear he had no intention of withdrawing his troops: the &#8220;peace proposal&#8221; he then set out himself amounted to a call for Ukraine\u2019s capitulation.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 90 or so countries represented, just 84 signed the final communique affirming Ukraine\u2019s territorial integrity and its right not to be invaded. Saudi Arabia, India and South Africa were among those who abstained. More critical was the absence from the entire summit of Russia\u2019s close ally, China, despite being involved in earlier preparatory stages. Russia itself was not invited.<\/p>\n<p>But Mr Zelensky and his team seemed unphased, even buoyed, by the outcome. Although things could have gone better for Kyiv, they could also have been far worse. The president brushed off questions about signatories to the statement, saying those who hadn&#8217;t endorsed it here could still do so in the future. Some countries were only represented at a low level this weekend, he suggested, and needed to consult back in their capitals.<\/p>\n<p>The summit was convened at a tough time for Ukraine on the battlefield. Its troops are under pressure from a new Russian push around Kharkiv in the northeast. And the Western military aid Ukraine relies on to resist Russia is still frustratingly slow to trickle through. &#8220;Is it enough to win? No. Is it late? Yes,&#8221; Mr Zelensky told reporters, at the end of the summit.But he said he was still pushing for more, and getting it, on a daily basis. So seizing the initiative on a peace proposal, trying to shape the process, makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>With US presidential elections later this year and a surge in votes in Europe for far-right parties, often sympathetic to Russia, support for Ukraine may falter in the coming months. The country itself is also exhausted by more than two years of war: the lines of military graves at cemeteries across the country are growing and volunteers no longer rush to enlistment offices in great numbers. That doesn\u2019t mean Kyiv is giving up on the fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not because we are weaker that we\u2019re talking about peace,&#8221; said President Zelensky firmly, when I put that to him. &#8220;We have always called for peace. At the peak of war, we were talking about peace. We wanted the world to pressure Russia to end this war. And stop killing us\u2026 stop killing civilians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c1wwy6g9qgjo\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c1wwy6g9qgjo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/will-ukraine-summit-be-a-path-to-peace\/\">Will Ukraine summit be a path to peace?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1955,559,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-peace","tag-ukraine","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131584\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
