Czechia backs declaration stating that “territorial integrity” of Ukraine must be respected

Eighty countries, including Czechia, have jointly called for the "territorial integrity" of Ukraine to be the basis of any peace agreement to end Russia’s war on Ukraine. The two-day Summit on Peace in Ukraine held in Switzerland ended with a joint declaration calling for the release of war prisoners and the return of all deported and displaced Ukrainian children. It also stressed that any use of nuclear energy and nuclear installations must be safe-guarded and that food security must not be weaponized in any way.

Some participants, including Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and India, did not sign up to the final declaration of the talks. Participants in the Ukraine peace summit agreed to continue efforts in working groups to come up with "action plans for peace". According to the Swiss newspaper Tribune de Genève these plans should be ready in "months, not years". Russia, which was not invited to the talks, has played down their significance.
