Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in a bid to find a solution to the ongoing conflict with Russia, has called for a global model of his 10-point formula for peace. Over 60 national security advisers gathered in Malta to assess Ukraine and the West’s ability to generate support for the conflict in Israel that has dominated recent headlines.
During the gathering, Zelenskiy criticized the effectiveness of the U.N. Charter and stressed the urgent need for a different approach to address the heartrending cries of mothers burying their children and the despair of children left orphaned by wars. His 10-point peace plan includes the restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity, the withdrawal of Russian troops, the protection of food and energy supplies, nuclear safety, and the release of all prisoners of war.
The outcome of the meeting is hoped to pave the way for an agreement to hold a global peace summit later this year. Representatives from Europe, South America, Arab nations, Africa, and Asia attended the gathering, signifying the significance of seeking a just peace beyond Ukraine, especially in light of the escalating violence in the Middle East.
However, it should be noted that China, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates were noticeably absent from the meeting. Nevertheless, this does not diminish the importance of restoring a just peace worldwide.
Ukraine and Malta issued a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace based on the principles outlined in the U.N. Charter. Both countries emphasized the crucial work of the working groups, specifically focusing on nuclear safety, humanitarian issues, and energy and food security.
While no fixed date has been set yet, preparatory steps will be taken for a possible peace summit in the future. The gathering in Malta marks a significant step towards finding a resolution to the conflict and highlights the international community’s dedication to fostering global peace.
