Switzerland to host Ukraine peace talks in January
Volodymyr Zelensky made the annoucement on X at the weekend. The Swiss foreign ministry has since confirmed the talks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that talks on a peace plan will be held in Switzerland in January 2024 – the day before the start of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The meeting on 14 January will be attended by the security advisors of several countries, the Swiss foreign ministry told the Keystone-SDA news agency on Monday.
The talks in Davos will follow a meeting in Malta in October, which was attended by around 70 countries from around the world as well as the European Union (EU) and the UN. Russia was not present. The Ukrainian peace plan foresees the immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops from all occupied territories, including Crimea.
So this isn't some major change or Ukraine planning to negotiate with Russia, more of a "hey world, how do we get Russia to fuck off" meeting.
