German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sees potential in the Global Peace Summit on Ukraine scheduled to be held in Switzerland on June 15-16, the German outlet Tagesschau reported on May 11.

"Even if the really big question of peace is not discussed at first, but rather issues that are also part of it, it would be a significant step. This could then be developed further," Scholz said at an event organized by the RND newspaper group in Potsdam.

He also expressed hope that Arab countries, India, South Africa, Brazil, and China would also participate in the summit.

On May 2, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the first Global Peace Summit would serve as a platform to discuss ways to achieve comprehensive, just, and lasting peace for Ukraine in accordance with the UN Charter and international law.

Preparations for the summit were announced on January 15 by Zelenskyy and Swiss President Viola Amherd. Bloomberg reports that 80 to 100 countries are expected to participate in the event aimed at forging a common understanding of how to achieve a comprehensive and just peace for Ukraine.

Notable attendees may include U.S. President Joe Biden, and French President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed France's involvement, citing close collaboration with nations dedicated to fostering peace under international law.

However, amidst these preparations, Zelenskyy raised concerns on April 24 about potential disruptions by Russia, describing it as a terrorist state aiming to hinder the peace efforts. Consequently, Russian representatives have not been invited to the summit, as Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba explained on May 1, due to doubts about Russia's commitment to genuine peace efforts.

FCC officially votes to reinstate net neutrality
The Federal Communications Commission made its official vote Thursday to reinstate net neutrality, which bars broadband providers from slowing or even blocking internet traffic to some sites while improving access to others that pay extra fees. With some changes and protections, passing the order titled Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet restores rules passed back during the Obama administration in 2015 and rolled back in 2017, after Donald Trump was elected president. Since the FCC announced in September that it would be pursuing this as a policy goal, it was more or less a fait accompli; there was no real reason why the Commission, split 3-2 in favor of the Democrats, would vote against it.
