Zelensky’s 'Disappointing’ Peace Summit Mirrors 'Russia’s Continuing Power' - Western Media
Volodymyr Zelensky’s Ukraine summit was noted by the marked absence of key figures such as US President Joe Biden, China's President Xi Jinping, as well as the leaders of Brazil, South Africa, and India. The joint declaration on the results of the talks on Sunday failed to be signed by BRICS countries, as well as several other states.
As the two-day
Swiss-hosted summit on Ukraine wrapped up on Sunday, Western media outlets could not help admitting that the gathering had “hit a wall.”
The summit was a “
struggle” and failed to win over support from
the Global South, they conceded.
Britain’s The Telegraph acknowledged the “disappointing end” to the Ukraine summit in its headline story. It went on to dub the peace declaration “watered-down.” It also noted that the final document was not supported by all the delegations, and that the process was a “fraught” one.
The Guardian similarly highlighted that key global powers like Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates
failed to sign up to the summit’s communique, and that
China snubbed the event.
The fact that the final document of Zelensky’s summit came up against key refusals reflected “Russia’s continuing international economic power and influence,” the Financial Times begrudgingly admitted.
Bern-based Swissinfo of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation referred to the summit as having been a “struggle,” and noted that it ended with an “unresolved declaration.”
Politico suggested that the peace summit on Ukraine “
looked more like another UN General Assembly.” It whimsically remarked that “
Russia’s ghost loomed over the summit,” after Russian President Vladimir Putin laid out
conditions for an end to the Ukraine conflict the day before the summit started.
It “reinforced the reality that the Kremlin eventually will have to be dealt with,” Politico summed up.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s summit on Ukraine held in Switzerland
fell short of its goals, with major powers and high-level representatives largely absent, including US President Joe Biden, China’s President Xi Jinping, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The joint declaration on the results of the talks on Sunday was signed by 79 countries out of 91 present, but
Armenia, Bahrain, Brazil, the Holy See, India, Indonesia, Libya, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates did not sign it.Russia, which was not invited to the gathering, dismissed it as “meaningless.” Its goal was to deliver an ultimatum to Russia in the form of Zelensky's "peace plan," Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia
told Sputnik.
