Specifically, RIA News quoted the Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine, Mr. Andriy Ermak , as saying that Kiev has planned to hold two summits, in which the first conference will focus on each point of the "peace formula" and the second conference will approve the final plan.
However, there is no information yet on the exact date of these summits.
Referring to the meeting of more than 80 delegations on the “peace formula” held on January 14 in Davos, Switzerland, Mr. Ermak admitted that there was no consensus among the participants, however, the meeting was considered a success.
Accordingly, Kiev must explain to all delegations why the Eastern European country considers sitting at the negotiating table with Moscow unacceptable.
Declaring that "Southern Hemisphere countries are increasingly involved" in resolving the conflict, the Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian President affirmed that, with strong support from allies, Kiev will not give up until it regains the territories that Russia is controlling in Ukraine.
However, the possibility of Southern Hemisphere countries agreeing to Ukraine's position as part of a peace formula remains open.
Meanwhile, Reuters quoted a Ukrainian official also emphasizing the importance of China in resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“ We have invited and will continue to invite China. Their presence at the negotiating table is very important. We hope that China will participate in the future because it is an important and influential country,” Mr. Ermak said.
Another country, India, was also mentioned by the countries participating in the discussion on the "peace formula" in Davos.
The Japan Times quoted Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis as saying that Russia would be asked to join discussions on a peace plan at some point, but that bringing Moscow to the negotiating table would require the mediation of several countries.
Accordingly, the participation of BRICS countries, including India, is very important, as these are countries that are maintaining relations with Russia.
Mr Cassis said Russia was not ready to make any concessions at the moment, but had no choice but to bring both Moscow and Kiev to the negotiating table, because “without dialogue, satisfactory objectives cannot be achieved”, and history shows that conflict “is not a solution”.
The "Peace Formula" was mentioned by President Zelensky in mid-November 2022. The plan includes 10 points, including providing nuclear security, food and energy, exchanging prisoners according to the "all for all" formula and restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Russia believes that Mr. Zelensky's "peace formula" was put forward without taking into account current reality.
