according to tass, sputnik and other media reports, on the 21st local time, the russian ministry of foreign affairs stated that russia would not participate in the so-called "peace summit" on the ukrainian issue, and that the event had nothing to do with mediating the crisis.

in june this year, the first "peace summit" on the ukraine issue was held in bürgenstock, switzerland, and russian representatives did not attend. after the meeting, ukrainian president zelensky said that the second "peace summit" on the ukraine issue is expected to be held in november, and he hopes that russian representatives will be able to attend at that time.

russian foreign ministry spokeswoman zakharova said on the 21st local time that russia has not participated in and will not participate in any meeting within the framework of the "burgenstock process". "this process has nothing to do with mediating the crisis. it is just another self-deception by the anglo-saxons and their ukrainian puppets."

zakharova pointed out that without russia's participation and without taking into account russia's interests, a just and lasting solution would be impossible. "but ukraine and the west do not care about peace, they need war. the invasion of the kursk region by ukrainian troops and zelensky's request for permission to use nato long-range weapons to strike russia's hinterland are proof of this."

"the so-called 'second summit' will pursue the same goal of pushing the absolutely unworkable 'zelensky solution' as the basis for resolving the conflict, trying to win the support of the majority of the world and issuing an ultimatum to russia to surrender on behalf of the majority of the world," she said.

zakharova reiterated that russia would not attend any such "summit" but that russia would not give up on resolving the crisis through political and diplomatic means.

"we are willing to discuss really serious proposals, but only taking into account the local situation, emerging geopolitical realities and the conditions put forward by president vladimir putin in june," zakharova said.
