Yermak outlined Kiev’s plan to extend invitations to more than 160 countries for the first summit, which is to convene at a leadership level. He stressed that the aim of this initial meeting is to translate what Ukraine has been communicating at the level of ambassadors and policy advisers into concrete decisions at the summit of heads of state. He noted that preparations are actively underway for a document that could emerge as the product of that first encounter. Source: Ukraine conference.
According to Yermak, additional time would be needed to craft a joint plan anchored in the peace formula, which would then be presented at a second summit following the initial talks. Source: Ukraine conference.
He added that there could be a scenario in which representatives of the Russian Federation are invited to participate together at the second summit and the plan is shared with them. If at that juncture a Russian envoy expressed a wish to return to a just world, that possibility would be considered, with the understanding of what constitutes a just world defined within the formula.
