The absence of some world leaders, including Joe Biden, at peace summit will be a ‘standing ovation’ for Putin, warns Kyiv.
Volodymyr Zelensky has used a phone call with his Australian counterpart, Anthony Albanese, to help build momentum behind next month’s critical peace summit in Switzerland, as the Ukraine president’s frustration with fellow world leaders reached a boiling point., Zelensky has pinned a breakthrough on the set piece event to show that the world is still on Ukraine’s side.
Biden will attend a G7 summit on June 13-15 in Italy but expected to skip the Swiss occasion to instead attend a campaign fundraiser in Los Angeles alongside George Clooney and Julia Roberts, Bloomberg has reported.Zelensky said his conversation with the Australian prime minister - who will also likely miss the summit - on Wednesday evening was to express his gratitude for Australia’s “unwavering” support for Ukraine.
“Even those partners who are afraid to give this or that advice should understand that air defence is defence, not attack.” The Swiss government has invited more than 160 countries and said the summit’s goal was “to provide a forum where world leaders discuss paths towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, based on international law and the UN Charter”.
