The issue of negotiations with the Russian Federation may become relevant only when Russia is ready to accept the document developed on the platform of the Peace Formula – President.

Today, the only working platform on the key principles of peace in Ukraine is the Peace Formula proposed by our state. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the end-of-year press conference in Kyiv.

The Head of State reminded that the fourth meeting of national security and foreign policy advisors on the implementation of the Peace Formula would be held in Switzerland in January within the Davos Forum. "We will work towards ensuring that this meeting gathers representatives from all continents, including the Global South. This meeting will address the last five points of the Peace Formula. The first five points were addressed by advisors at the previous meeting at the end of October in Malta," he explained. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that after this meeting of advisors, work would be done to organize the first founding summit at the level of state leaders. He believes it is necessary to do everything possible to ensure this summit takes place despite all the challenges existing in the world. This will mean that the world continues to pay attention to Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine and to the Peace Formula. According to the President, his recent foreign visits to Latin America, the USA, and Europe have also helped keep the focus on the war in Ukraine.

The Head of State explained that at the first Global Peace Summit, the leaders will work out an agreement between the countries on the fundamental provisions that will be embodied in the relevant document. After this document is agreed upon by all states, it can then be presented to representatives of the Russian Federation.
