Kremlin communicates that the Swiss Ukraine conference failed to yield any significant outcomes.
International powers convened at Burgenstock, Switzerland, excluding Moscow and China, with nearly a hundred nations in attendance.
The final declaration, unveiled on Sunday, emphasized a call for negotiations amongst all parties and the preservation of Ukraine's territorial sovereignty. Saudi Arabia, India, and the United Arab Emirates refrained from endorsing this statement.
Peskov reiterated Putin's readiness for dialogue and substantial negotiations. Prior to the gathering, Putin had expressed his condition for participation in peace negotiations, which required Ukraine to relinquish four regions to Russia, lands controversially annexed during Russia's military incursion in the neighboring nation. This condition, in effect, represented a surrender for Ukraine.
