The interlocutors did not specify which States refused to attend the event. At the same time, one of the diplomats did not rule out that the number of “refuseniks” could increase.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s press secretary Sergei Nikiforov did not reveal the number of participants at the conference.
“We would not like to announce the final figures,” he told Rada TV on Tuesday.
Let us remember that the conference on Ukraine will be held on June 15 and 16 in Bürgenstock, Switzerland. More than 160 delegations were invited to the event. Russia is not among them.
It was previously learned that Chinese representatives would not attend the summit. According to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Beijing is in favor of convening a “real peace conference” that would be recognized by both Russia and Ukraine.
As the Western media has already written, China’s decision was a great disappointment for Vladimir Zelensky.
