Specifically, RIA News quoted the Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian President, 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 dates 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 Ukrainian President's Chief of Staff affirmed that, with strong support from allies, Kiev will not give up until it regains the territories that Russia controls 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,” Ermak said.
Another country, India, was also mentioned by the countries participating in the discussion on the "peace formula" in Davos.
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 the BRICS countries, including India, is very important, because these are the countries that are maintaining relations with Russia.
Mr. Cassis said that Russia is currently not ready to make any concessions, but has no choice but to bring both Moscow and Kiev to the negotiating table, because “without dialogue, satisfactory goals 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 consists of 10 points, including providing nuclear security, food and energy, exchanging prisoners according to the formula "all for all" and restoring the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Russia believes that Mr. Zelensky's "peace formula" was put forward without taking into account current reality.
