The discussion of Zelenskyy's peace formula, especially regarding the prosecution of war criminals, will be particularly thoroughly considered at the forum. The guest emphasized that the summit serves as a flexible platform for ending the war and legitimizing the Ukrainian stand. The Russian and Belarusian dictators have already demonstrated their indignation with not being invited.
