Any credible peace process aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine requires Russia's participation, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud told the Ukraine conference at the Bürgenstock in Switzerland.
“We believe it is important that the international community encourage any step towards serious negotiations which will require difficult compromise as part of a road map that leads to peace,” Prince Faisal said.
The minister stressed that Saudi Arabia is ready to support efforts to end the conflict.
He urged the international community to take responsibility for "encouraging peace and negotiations, rather than further escalation."
