Ukraine wants UN ‘peace summit’ by end of February

Russia must be prosecuted for war crimes as a condition for attending says Dmytro Kuleba

Ukraine wants a peace summit by the end of February, preferably at the United Nations with secretary-general Antonio Guterres as mediator.

Foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said he was “absolutely satisfied” with the results of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the US last week – and that the White House plans to get a Patriot missile battery ready to be operational in the country in under six months. Usually, the training takes up to a year.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Mr Kuleba also said Ukraine will do whatever it can to win the war in 2023.
