MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that attempts to involve Russia in a second peace summit on Ukraine were ultimatums which Moscow would not accept.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday he aimed to have a plan ready in November to enable Kyiv to hold a second international peace summit, and he said representatives of Russia should attend.
Delegations from 92 countries took part in a first summit in Switzerland last month. Russia was not invited and dismissed the event as a waste of time.
