"I appeal to world leaders (...), to President Biden, the leader of the United States, and to President Xi, the leader of China (...): please support the peace summit with your leadership and your participation," Zelensky said in a video message.
Switzerland has sent invitations to more than 160 delegations, but Russia has not been invited "at this stage", according to the Swiss government's website dedicated to the event in early May.
Invitees include members of the G7, the G20, BRICS, many other countries from all continents, as well as the EU, three international organisations (the UN, the OSCE and the Council of Europe) and two representatives of the religious world (the Vatican and the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople).
Russia, which launched its invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, has made it known – with harsh criticism – that it is not interested in participating in this conference.
The Kremlin has made it clear on several occasions that it would not take part in any negotiations if Kyiv did not accept Russia's annexation of around 20% of Ukrainian territory that it currently occupies.
President Zelensky said today that "more than 80 countries have confirmed their participation".
