A virtual meeting was held among European leaders and the British Prime Minister to discuss the possibility of deploying several thousand troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force. This initiative requires Russia's agreement, which has been firmly rejected thus far. Discussions included security guarantees. US President stated that American troops will not be involved, while European leaders advocate for a peace summit potentially hosted in Switzerland, facilitating Putin's attendance despite an arrest warrant. Multiple leaders emphasized Geneva as a neutral location to conduct the meeting.
With respect for Russia's security interests, without full respect for the rights of Russians and Russian-speaking people who live in Ukraine, there can be no talk of any long-term agreements.
We could hold such a meeting and we know what needs to be done to ensure it goes smoothly...we can do this despite the arrest warrant against Putin because of our special role and Geneva's role as the European headquarters of the United Nations.
Italy is in favour of them taking place in Geneva because it is a country that has always worked to build peace.
It will be [hosted by] a neutral country, maybe Switzerland, I'm pushing for Geneva, or another country.
