Zelenskyy sharply responded to China and other countries that did not support the Peace Summit

President Zelenskyy stated that the war is not about disagreements but about disrespect and aggression. This was his response to journalists' questions regarding the stance of China and Brazil, which did not participate in the Peace Summit in Switzerland and did not sign the final communiqué.

The Head of State made this statement during a briefing following the Peace Summit in Switzerland.

"To help narrow differences... But war is not about differences, it is about disrespect for human life, for freedom, for democracy, for the values of one country. And this is Russia - the occupier, against another country, which is Ukraine - the victim. This is not a difference of opinion, this is not some diplomatic misunderstanding, this is a serious matter, a significant number of casualties," Zelenskyy emphasized.

He reminded that Ukraine did not start the war and was not fighting on Russian territory. The war is taking place solely on Ukrainian territory. Additionally, the Head of State noted that the principle of territorial integrity was recognized by all participants of the Summit.

"As soon as both Brazil and China join the principles that united us today, we will be glad to hear their views, even if they do not align with the majority of the world. It is normal to unite efforts to end the war," the President added.
