The Ukraine peace summit will make ‘history’, president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his opening remarks at the gathering on Saturday (June 15).

About 100 countries and organizations are expected at the two-day gathering in Buergenstock, in central Switzerland.

He called Russia’s war an /”unprovoked aggression/” only wanted by Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Switzerland, which took on the summit at the behest of Zelenskiy, wants to pave the way for a future peace process that includes Russia.

Swiss President Viola Amherd, speaking alongside Zelenskiy, said the Ukrainian people had faced /”unimaginable suffering/” since the start of the war and stressed that it was vital to uphold the U.N. Charter and international law.

/”Russia’s invasion seriously violates this,/” she said.
