A meeting of negotiators on the peace plan for Ukraine took place in Davos. Consultations of national security advisers on the Ukrainian “peace formula” were the fourth in a row and ended without a clear plan, Bloomberg writes.
During the meeting held on January 14, representatives of 83 states participated, including 18 from Asian countries and 12 from Africa. Russia was not invited to the meeting. As part of the discussions, Kyiv announced that the Ukrainian authorities would never agree to freezing the conflict.
As a result, the participants managed to clarify some issues for the upcoming discussion “at some stage,” but it became clear that both the Russian Federation and Ukraine were not ready to make territorial concessions. It was noted that Ukraine’s strategic goal remains to return to the 1991 borders, and Russia demands that “new territorial realities” be recognized for it to resolve the crisis.
In general, the participants in the Davos meeting were “united in the main principles,” but they still had differences on some issues, they said in Kyiv after the meeting. They added that a number of negotiators insisted that the parties need to immediately sit down at the negotiating table, but Ukraine clearly explained why this is unacceptable now.
The media notes that during the meeting, Ukraine planned to enlist support for its peace plan from the countries of the Global South. Kyiv also expects to hold a meeting at the level of state leaders, but it has not yet been planned.
Let us recall that Russia considers the peace formula proposed by Kiev unacceptable and excludes negotiations on its basis.
The meeting in Davos took place a day before the official start of the World Economic Forum, which will take place from January 15 to 19.
