Story

The peace summit in Switzerland aims to chart a path towards peace in Ukraine, with top country leaders and organizations like the United Nations participating. Despite fewer than expected confirmations, efforts are being made to involve key countries like India. Brazil and China have stated they will only attend if all sides, including Russia, are present. The conference, coordinated by Ukraine, seeks to establish a roadmap for lasting peace, addressing issues such as nuclear security and humanitarian aid. Security measures, including deploying 4,000 military personnel, are in place due to increased cyberattacks leading up to the event.
