German Chancellor Candidate Says AfD Wants Peace in Ukraine, End of Arms Supplies to Ukraine
On June 15-16, Switzerland hosted a high-level conference on Ukraine at the Burgenstock resort outside of Lucerne. More than 90 countries confirmed participation in the event, half of which were from Europe. Russia did not received an invitation, but the foreign ministry said it would not have attended the conference even if invited. The joint communique following the summit called on Russia to return control of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to Ukraine, to provide commercial access to sea ports in the Black and Azov Seas, and to fully exchange prisoners of war. Armenia, Bahrain, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Libya, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates did not sign the conference's final declaration. Later, Iraq and Jordan withdrew their signatures.
