The department noted that all peaceful ideas can be discussed on the already created “Peace Summit” platform.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that such “peaceful initiatives” only create the “illusion of dialogue”https://www.unian.ua/ photo UNIANThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that they were disappointed with the information regarding the decision of Switzerland to support the initiative of China and Brazil, which concerns the end of the war in Ukraine.“We cannot understand the logic of such a decision. After all, together with the Swiss Confederation, we organized the First Global Peace Summit on June 15-16 in Bürgenstock, which was attended by representatives of a hundred countries and international institutions. Our countries continue to actively cooperate on increasing the number of signatories of the final Communiqué of this summit. Switzerland participates in thematic conferences on specific points of the Peace Formula, the purpose of which is to prepare a common peace framework for the restoration of a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace for Ukraine,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized.
The department reminded that all ideas, discussions and plans regarding peace in Ukraine should have two principles:
- Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.
- These proposals should be based on the UN Charter and contain respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within internationally recognized borders.
The Foreign Ministry added that such peaceful ideas can be discussed on the platform offered by the Peace Summit.
“We consider the Peace Formula of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi to be the only way to a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace. There is no need to create additional formats and platforms for discussing ways to achieve peace for Ukraine. The Peace Formula provides a complete toolkit and appropriate platforms for discussing all ideas, consolidating various visions and concepts,” the ministry emphasized.
The foreign policy department also noted that any initiatives that do not have a clear reference to the UN Charter and do not guarantee the full restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity are unacceptable. Such “peaceful initiatives” only create the “illusion of dialogue”, while Russia continues to commit criminal acts.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged Switzerland and all countries that support international law and the UN Charter not to participate in such “peaceful initiatives”, because they can only complicate the process of achieving a just peace for Ukraine.
“Those initiatives that do not recognize the fact of Russia’s unprovoked armed aggression against Ukraine, equate the victim and the aggressor, propose de-escalation at the expense of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territories, cannot be supported by Ukraine,” the report concluded.
Peace initiative of China and Brazil – what is known As UNIAN reported, in the spring Brazil and China proposed their plan for settling the war in Ukraine, which has six main points. The two countries offer to stop hostilities and start a negotiation process. However, this plan does not mention the withdrawal of occupation forces from Ukraine, the punishment of war criminals and the payment of compensation to Ukraine for the destruction committed by the Russian Federation.
Also, China, together with the countries of the Global South, intends to create the “Friends of Peace” platform, which will be aimed at the “political settlement of the war in Ukraine.” In China, it was emphasized that this platform is open and does not seek to compete with anyone.
At the same time, the representative of Brazil emphasized that China’s “peace plan” is of great importance.
“The two sides can continue to work together to play the role of ‘friends of peace’, reach a common consensus and contribute to the cooling of the situation,” he said.
Later it became known that Switzerland supported such a peace plan, because it “calls for a ceasefire and a political solution to the conflict” and “offers an alternative to aggressive rhetoric from both the Ukrainian and Russian sides.”
