Peace Summit in Switzerland is useless without Russia's participation, Kremlin says

This was reported by Reuters.

"It is absolutely useless to discuss security issues that concern us without Russia," Peskov says.

At the same time, he suggested that the summit would be “empty scholasticism with no prospect of getting any significant result.”

Earlier, Russia said it saw no point in a conference planned by Switzerland to discuss ways to end the conflict in Ukraine, to which Moscow has not yet been invited.

• Fifty countries have confirmed their participation in the Peace Summit on Ukraine to be held on June 15-16 in Switzerland.
