The majority of the world is with Russia: turn on Kiev and the West at the 'Ukraine peace summit’ by Javier Benítez for Sputnikspanish. 06.20.2024.
A failure. That was the result of the much-mentioned, by the West, ‘Ukraine peace summit’ held in Switzerland. Of the 92 countries that submitted, many of which had second- and third-level representatives, fewer than 80 have supported the final communique. Meanwhile, some, such as the United States and Germany, withdrew already on the first day.
Chronicle of an announced failure
Among those who refused to sign the final declaration are key countries of the so-called Global South, such as the cases of India, Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Armenia and Slovakia.
The summer sales were brought forward this year: of Volodymyr Zelensky's supposedly irreducible initial plan of 10 points so acclaimed, only three appeared in the document, leaving out the most vital geopolitically, such as, for example, returning to the 1991 borders, or that Russian troops leave territory that became part of the Russian Federation as new regions in 2022.
First: "Ukrainian nuclear power plants and facilities, including the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, must operate safely and securely under the full sovereign control of Ukraine and in accordance with the principles of the IAEA and under its supervision. Any threat or use of nuclear weapons in the context of the ongoing war against Ukraine is inadmissible."
Secondly: "Full and safe commercial navigation, as well as access to the seaports of the Black and Azov Seas to ensure global food security. Food security should not be turned into a weapon of any kind. Ukrainian agricultural products must be supplied safely and freely to the interested third countries."
Third: "All illegally deported and displaced Ukrainian children, and all other illegally detained Ukrainian civilians, must be returned to Ukraine.
During this discussion set up by the West in Switzerland, the acting prime minister of the Netherlands wanted to grab headlines: "This meeting sends a very strong message to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and I would like to say this to him: ‘Many at this table have said that Russia should have been here and I completely agree. Today, you should have been here," said the gentleman who knows very well that he knows perfectly well that Zelensky prohibited by law to negotiate with Moscow, and more specifically with President Putin. The strong message thing, maybe it's because he said it loudly, if not, it's not understood.
Referring to this summit and the expressions expressed by the Western participants, the international analyst Pablo Jofré Leal warns that "undoubtedly we are witnessing a comedy".
"This is a circus, this is a NATO staging. With all the certainty of saying that a country that has appeared to be neutral over the decades, but that simply and simply what it has done in its apparent neutrality is to benefit from banking secrecy, dark deposits, as is Switzerland. A country that actively participates in supporting one of the parties cannot be neutral," the analyst concludes.
