The Foreign Minister of Ukraine mentioned the peace summit in February, but said Russia would face war crimes prosecution
In an interview with the Associated Press, Kuliba said that Ukraine hopes to hold a summit to end the conflict. "Every war will end with diplomacy, and actions taken on the battlefield and at the negotiating table lead to the end of every war."
However, Kuliba pointed out that Ukraine believes that Russia must face the war crimes court before directly talking with Russia. When asked whether Ukraine would invite Russia to attend the summit, Culeba said that Russia first needs to face war crimes prosecution in the international court, "they can only be invited in this way."
On December 26, Ukraine also called on the members of the United Nations to deprive Russia of its status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and exclude it from the United Nations. Kuliba said that Ukraine had already "prepared for this step to expose fraud and deprive Russia of its status".
Although Ukraine proposed peace talks, Kuliba still claimed that Ukraine would do its utmost to win the conflict in 2023.
Kuliba also said that he was "absolutely satisfied" with the results of Zerensky's visit to the United States last week, and disclosed that the United States government has formulated a special plan to use the "Patriot" missile system for Ukraine. It is reported that Ukraine received a new military assistance plan worth 1.8 billion dollars during this visit.
Uzbekistan hopes that the United Nations, as a mediation platform, will respond
Couliba said that the United Nations may be the best platform to hold the peace summit. "The United Nations may be the best place to hold this summit, which is to enable every country to participate."
According to the Russian satellite news agency, it was learned from the remarks made by the Office of the Secretary General of the United Nations on Foreign Minister Kuliba of Ukraine that the Secretary General of the United Nations Guterres was ready to mediate on the issue of holding a special summit on Ukraine with the consent of all parties, including Russia.
However, the Deputy Spokesperson of the United Nations, Florencia Soto Nino Martinez, said: "As the Secretary General has said many times in the past, he can only mediate if all parties want him to."
It is understood that some leaders of other countries have also proposed mediation, such as the leaders of Türkiye and Saudi Arabia. In this regard, Culeba said that other countries can freely contact Russia, just like the dialogue between Türkiye and Russia before the food agreement was reached.
Putin said he was ready to negotiate. The Russian side said it never complied with other people's conditions
According to the Capitol Hill, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he was ready to negotiate with "all participants" in the Ukrainian war.
Putin said in an interview with Russian media on December 25 that the Kremlin is ready to negotiate, but their enemies are those who refuse to negotiate. Putin said that in the 10 month long conflict, Russia is defending its national interests and citizens. But he said Russia was ready to negotiate "some acceptable results" with all participants in the conflict.
According to the Russian satellite news agency, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said when answering the question whether he was prepared to negotiate under certain conditions of Ukraine that Russia never complied with others' conditions, but acted in accordance with its own goals and common sense.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba repeatedly downplayed Russia's comments that they were ready for talks. "They (Russians) often say that they are ready to negotiate, which is not true, because everything they have done on the battlefield has proved to be contrary," Kulleba said.
