We, the international community, must stand together to support Ukraine in its pursuit of peace. This is why we are in Switzerland today and tomorrow. To help bring an end to a brutal and unjust war. To reaffirm the primacy of the UN Charter. And to restore international peace and security. We must support a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace for Ukraine. One that restores Ukraine's sovereignty and its territorial integrity. We must pledge again to uphold firmly the principles of the UN Charter. This is #PathToPeace. My speech at the Summit on Peace in Ukraine: europa.eu/!fbKDBr
Is Russia not a part of Europe. Why can't it join NATO? The whole reason Ukraine is in this position is because the US and EU had twisted intentions for Russia through NATO. Russia has every right to defend itself. And Palestine also has a right to defend itself. We will not fall for your false narratives and blatant lies.
Russia is unfortunately not part of the solution (by choice). So, inviting t would only diminish all efforts for peace (they would sabotage it, as they did will all peace efforts until now). This is a very difficult problem with no obvious solutions. We all know that only one position can guarantee the maintenance of Ukraine’s hope of re-establishing all its borders, and that’s the full commitment of the International community. That’s all this is about. And we must not forget that Ukraine is fighting for a war greater than its borders, a war about the maintenance of peace as a civilization pillar. I totally understand the pain behind those who reclaim the same attention to other wars in the world. However, first and unfortunately, there is no magic formula to end all wars at the same time. Secondly, to compare the Gaza war with this one is a mistake. We obviously agree a child’s life is of the same importance anywhere in the world (that’s not even a subject). But we must differentiate an aggressor like Russia and a country that is desperately fighting terrorists that use kids as a shield (even if we don’t agree with the way their are doing it, and the horrible consequences of their actions).

Russian occupation of Ukraine and confrontation between the EU and the Russian Federation is harmful for both sides and for all the world and deadly for Ukrainian people. It's better for all that the EU and the Russian Federation enter into negotiation and find a logical faithful resolution. I believe the EU should have accepted the Russian Federation as a respectful partner and sustained a constructive dialogue something similar to the EU-Turkey relationships. Rejecting the Russian Federation is not beneficial for the EU in long term.
For long I had a great respect and trust on the west led global system. Currently, I have different view than before, because the west is becoming more hypocrites than credible global leader. Historically Ukraine is more relevant to Russia than to the west, why you are are insisting on supporting Ukraine? we all know the reason, it is ti hurt Russia. Russia is an important part of the world with all grounds. So, the world needs Russia with its full grace and respect. If the wests were not there, I am 100 percent sure, Ukrainians will never face such horrible situation. I love USA but not democrats, they are manufacturer of global chaos, I know it is not for the sake of USA national interest, rather it is for the corrupt interest of democrats. Thus, my advise to all EU and NATO members is to refrain themselves from the crazy Zelensky. He is totally idiot and can not even lead himself. If I were him I would not fight with Russia for the sake of USA democrats. Rather I would be neutral and work with all relevant states including Russia.

I think this should be about people’s lives. I don’t think it is very hard to negotiate a peace treaty. Forget about the UN, NATO speak with Russia and agree an outcome. There is fear on either side, let people live in peace, forget about the west v Russia for gag sake we are all part of the same world and are all human, forget the “them and us” there is good and bad in everyone, so let’s get on together, none of us are here forever, so let’s enjoy the time we have here without conflicts
What about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Myanmar, Sudan? Also, why is Russia not invited to be part of the Summit on "Peace"? Why do you believe that you can take a decision without negotiating with the one who actually initiated the invasion and is actively executing it? 🙂

Ending a war is impossible if both the sides are not engaged for a meaningful dialogue. What's probably happening here, is polarisation and fragmentation of Eastern Europe !. This if indeed happens, would negatively impact the entire EU 🇪🇺 . The War might actually expand and take more dangerous form !. This madness must stop !, for GSK 🙏😞 These networking events aren't going to help real peace but business!. #Russia must be involved in the process. This is purely a business events to share the booty of weapons sales and frozen assets of Russia it seems. The West cannot btrng down Russia this way !. #India calls for meaningful solutions !. We are ready for a judicious and pious role !. #WorldPeace #Peace #Development #War #Ukraine #Russia #India #EueopeanUnion #EU #USA #France #Germany #Italy #Switzerland ##G7Italia2024 🇮🇳🤝🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦🤝🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧❣️

2moUrsula von der Leyen what about starting issuing sanctions against Israel which is violating international treaties, human rights and court orders? It is shocking to see that your EU is doing nothing to address the situation in Gaza. Children are dying and we do nothing. I am ashamed.
