AP reports that Ukraine’s foreign minister said today that his government is aiming to have a peace summit by the end of February.

Foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said at the Foreign Ministry that Ukraine will do whatever it can to win the war in 2023, adding that diplomacy always plays an important role.

Every war ends in a diplomatic way. Every war ends as a result of the actions taken on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.Kuleba said the Ukrainian government would like to have a peace summit by the end of February.

The United Nations could be the best venue for holding this summit, because this is not about making a favour to a certain country. This is really about bringing everyone on board.Kuleba said that United Nations with Secretary-General António Guterres could be the possible mediator for peace talks.

He has proven himself to be an efficient mediator and an efficient negotiator, and most importantly, as a man of principle and integrity. So we would welcome his active participation.
