DISINFO: The Switzerland peace conference is set up to issue useless ultimatums to Russia
SUMMARY
The Switzerland conference will include the collective West and countries dependent on it. It will end in a new useless ultimatum to Russia. In tune with Zelenskyy’s peace formula, the concluding resolution will demand an unconditional Russian capitulation.
RESPONSE
This is an pre-emptive attempt to discredit the peace summit which Switzerland will host on 15-16 June 2024.
Following Ukraine’s request, Switzerland has invited over 160 delegations from around the world to join for the first Summit on Peace in Ukraine. The invitees include members of the G7, G20, BRICS, many other countries from all continents, as well as the EU, three international organisations and religious representatives. According to the Swiss government, the summit aims to create a framework favourable to comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine, as well as "a concrete roadmap for Russia's participation in the peace process."
If the summit does not provide fruitful results, it will be because of Russia's impossible preconditions for a peaceful settlement. Russia refuses to engage in any talks before the "unconditional surrender of the Kiev [sic] regime." In this light, Russia's UN representative said in a statement on April 11, 2024:
"the attempts of the head of the Kiev regime to promote his "formulas" and convene "summits" cause nothing but bewilderment. Soon enough, the only topic for any international meetings on Ukraine will be the unconditional surrender of the Kiev regime"
Also, in Kremlin terminology "taking the real situation on the ground into account" entails the acceptance of Russia's illegal occupation of Ukrainian territories as a precondition for negotiations.
Despite Russia's preconditions for Ukraine's unconditional surrender and acceptance of the occupation, Russia still claims that it is ready for negotiations and that it is Ukraine that is rejecting them.
See similar cases that the Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland is an Anglo-Saxon attempt to isolate Russia; that the West has no intention of ending the conflict in Ukraine, that Zelenskyy and the EU want a permanent war in Ukraine, that Zelenskyy’s peace plan is a war formula.
