Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Russia should be represented at a second summit aiming to secure lasting peace with the Kremlin, after more than two years of war, Paralel.Az reports citing The Moscow Times.

Dozens of world leaders voiced support for a just peace in Ukraine after a high-level summit convened by Zelenskyy last month in Switzerland, to which Russia was not invited.

"I believe that Russian representatives should be at the second summit," Zelenskyy told a press conference in Kyiv, where he laid out preparatory work for a follow-up summit.

Zelensky announced separate meetings on key issues, including energy security, to be held in Qatar and on food security in Türkiye ahead of a second summit.
