Ukrainian envoy: Peace summit may take place in New York in February

Ukraine Ambassador to Türkiye Vasyl Bodnar has said that the peace summit that was previously announced by the Ukrainian government may take place at the United Nations headquarters in New York on February 24.

Bodnar made the statement in an interview with the Turkish news website Anadolu.

"We believe that this summit will most likely take place at the UN in New York on February 24," the diplomat said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a 10-point "peace formula" during his speech at the G20 summit and stated that this proposal covers such issues as security, including food and energy, as well as the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory, he said.

Bodnar also thanked Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who has officially stated that Türkiye supports the "peace formula" proposed by Ukraine, and is ready to support its implementation.
