According to Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis, the peace plan for Ukraine should move forward, even if the dialogue between Kyiv and Moscow cannot yet take place. All the same, the Russian Federation must somehow participate in the negotiations on this matter.
Switzerland assumed the participation of Russia in the negotiations with Ukraine
At the fourth peace formula talks in Davos, Swiss Foreign Minister Ignatius Cassis said that the Ukrainian peace plan is only a "foundation" for negotiations to end the conflict with Russia.
Swissinfo publication writes about it.
Either way Russia will be involved. There will be no peace without Russia’s words… We must do everything possible in order to support Ukraine.
According to the minister, the peace plan should move forward, even if the dialogue between Kyiv and Moscow cannot yet occur.
Every day, while we are waiting, dozens of civilians get killed. We have no right to wait, Cassis said.
He added that "we must end this war."
Among the ten points of the Peace Formula, Switzerland participates in the work on food security, nuclear security and ending the war.
