GENEVA — Switzerland will host scores of world leaders this weekend to try to map out first steps toward peace in Ukraine even though Russia , which launched and is continuing the war, won't take part.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government didn't want Russia involved, and the Swiss — aware of Moscow's reservations about the talks — didn't invite Russia . The Swiss insist Russia must be involved at some point, and hope it will join the process one day.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's government doesn't believe Switzerland – which has lined up behind European Union sanctions on Moscow over the war – is neutral. Swiss authorities have worked closely with Ukraine to set up the conference.Participants are expected to unite around an outcome document or a joint plan, and Ukraine will have a lot of input into what it says.
