EU plans Ukraine summit with Russia in Saudi Arabia this fall
EU foreign ministers are set to discuss the feasibility of a summit on Ukraine, potentially including Russian representatives, to be held in Saudi Arabia this fall, Bloomberg reported on May 27.
The discussion will also cover steps following the recent Global Peace Summit in Switzerland.
According to EU officials, while U.S. President Joe Biden has opted out of attending, China is reportedly preparing a competing peace initiative. Meanwhile, Moscow's efforts to deter global leaders from participating have impacted Kyiv's campaign to broaden international involvement. Brazil and India are contemplating the level of their representation, possibly only sending junior officials, with Beijing expected to delegate only a senior civil servant.
