The Ukrainian government expects to hold a Peace Formula summit by the end of February, preferably at the UN, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as a possible mediator. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, clarified that the objective is to hold the summit shortly before the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion into Ukraine. The UN could represent the best platform for holding this summit because it involves all countries in the initiative. Furthermore, according to Kuleba, Guterres has proven himself an effective mediator and negotiator and, most importantly, a principled and honest person. Therefore, Ukraine would welcome his active participation.
