Summit will take place on 15 and 16 June in the luxury resort of Bürgenstock on Lake Lucerne. "It is a first step towards a peace process", explained the President of the Confederation, Viola Amherd.

The objective is not in fact a definitive agreement: "Peace cannot be achieved without Russia", explained Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis. Zelensky insists on rejecting the idea of quickly ending the war by granting territories, which is instead sponsored by the Republican candidate for the White House Donald Trump, at least according to the US media. In the meantime, the war knows no respite and continues to claim victims throughout Ukraine: in the last few hours alone there have been three deaths in Kharkiv, including a 14-year-old, and four in Odessa,. including a 10-year old girl. And the danger of an accident at the Zaporhzhia plant remains high, Kiev for its part continues to strike in the Russian border regions.
