“Ukrainian initiatives are gradually becoming global initiatives,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on January 14.
I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!
A few summaries of the day.
Today, a new meeting of advisors to the heads of state on the Peace Formula is taking place in Switzerland. This is the fourth such meeting, and it is extremely important that each one brings together more participants. More than 80 states and international organizations are now represented. And not only our usual partners in Europe and North America, but also states from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. This is a representative meeting. I am grateful to every leader and every country that takes part in this joint work of ours and confirms by their participation that the rules-based world order must be restored – for everyone on earth, without exception.
The rulers of Russia think that with violence and terror, with their lies and cruelty, they can impose some other, predatory world order – a world order without rules, without any security guarantees. It is precisely their confidence – the confidence of murderers – that we are now collectively reducing. With each meeting – for the sake of normal international law. By constantly expanding our international work to new regions and new states. Through new agreements for the sake of greater security. Ukrainian initiatives are gradually becoming global initiatives. I am grateful to everyone who helps us with this.
Today’s meeting in Switzerland furthers the work that took place during the meetings in Malta, Saudi Arabia, and Denmark. I look forward to a detailed report from our team, the Ukrainian team, on the discussions that took place.
