Earlier, Zelenskiy has announced his formula for peace at a November 2022 summit of the G 20. It calls for restoring Kyiv’s territorial integrity and a complete withdrawal of Russian forces.  Ukraine has said that it would not speak with Russia until all its troops have left its territory.

Moscow has said there is no current basis for peace dialogue between Ukraine and Russia and that Kyiv’s peace plan was illogical as it excluded Moscow.
