Russia will be invited to the finale: what kind of peace for Ukraine was brought from Saudi Arabia

High -ranking officials and diplomats from all over the world took part in it - live and online, in particular, India, Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, Indonesia. China also sent its delegation. Russia was not invited. The main purpose of the meeting is to find as the widest support of the Ukrainian peace formula and to distribute its points between the participating countries. A separate community of countries that will work on their implementation is formed for each of them.

The names of the countries are not disclosed, but it is known that each of the points already has several interested. We will remind, in October 2022 at the G20 summit, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a formula of peace of ten points. Among them: restoration of territorial integrity of Ukraine, withdrawal of Russian troops, release of all prisoners, tribunal for the perpetrators of aggression and security guarantees for Ukraine.

Ukraine hopes that these negotiations will allow a peaceful summit to be held by the end of 2023 with the participation of world leaders, within which the general principles of the end of the war will be signed and Ukraine will strengthen Ukraine in future negotiations with Russia. In the office of the President of Ukraine, the trip is very constructive. It is said that "a meeting in Saudi Arabia is a rehearsal of a world that has no cave aggression.

" Focus sources say that the summit took place as two separate panels: the first - a common with the participation of all participants, a length of about five hours, the second - individual negotiations. "Everyone who was and wanted to meet everyone," they say about the latter. Regarding the meaningful part, no other peace or peace plan is being considered except the Ukrainian, because aggression is taking place in Ukraine, and to whom it does not decide its destiny.

None of the participants doubt the need to restore Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity - most countries agree that Ukraine is important in 1991. Russia's participation in negotiations is not foreseen. It is planned to be attached at the final stage, when the final document for the end of the war should already be signed. But at that moment it is not known how Russia itself will change, and what its leadership will be. In general, Ukraine wants to see two final samis.

The first is the constituent, which should take the peace plan of Ukraine as a basis. He will be in separate negotiations for each point with the involvement of individual states. The second is the final with the fixation of ten points at the level of heads of security states. However, all these results of the summit only from unofficial sources. After two -day meetings, a single steatm was prepared and announced.

Currently, everyone understands that certain results should not be expected from the meeting, they say, it was a forum during which everyone had the opportunity to express their own thoughts without a reservation on their fixation. No wonder on the eve of the meeting in Saudi Arabia in the US State Department stated that they did not plan "any specific results".

At the same time, some foreign journalists point out that closedness is dictated by the desire to find a compromise with the Russian Federation, so as not to be alienated from Moscow, which tries to influence both the countries of the global south and other international partners. In particular, on the eve of the summit. However, information from their sources still got into international media. One of the European officials in a comment by Reuters said Jeddy's negotiations were positive.

It was possible to agree that respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine should be the basis of any peaceful settlement. Instead, the Wall Street Journal wrote that Ukraine allegedly agreed to the beginning of peace talks before the withdrawal of Russian troops from all over the country. In the President's office, the last message is completely denied. "I think, Ukraine did not focus on its formula of peace in order to discuss this issue with a larger list of participants.

It even stated that Ukraine did not demand that all participants to confirm it. I would remind the formula of Peace of Vladimir Zelensky and the withdrawal of troops from the territory Ukraine. And the fact that Ukraine agreed to negotiations without the withdrawal of troops - they spread all Russian sources yesterday. Therefore, it is not so easy there, we are in a state of information war. .

Diplomat, expert of the Center for Defense Strategies Alexander Hara, reflects on at the same time: "It would be an explosion in Ukraine if our representatives agreed to something like that. For example, a return at the turn of February 24, not the borders of 1991, that is, the whole territory. And the President of Ukraine himself. Earlier, he emphasized that this could not be frozen with a conflict. " Experts now note that it was only one of several intermediate meetings.

But, undoubtedly, positive. "We see in comparison with the previous at the level of advisers, significant progress. The achievement of peace was not actively involved in the settlement of the situation. And of course, a great positive-the participation of China. China has its own proposals, which are perceived differently. But the fact that China has become involved in discussing the Ukrainian formula of peace, as for me, a sufficiently positive indicator.

This summit should be considered in the context of what work is being done, the agreement of positions is underway. " At the same time, the analyst notes that a meeting at the level of political advisers is more working than representative: "I assume that the format of advisers has chosen because Ukraine is now very closely engaged contact with Andriy Yermak, who represented Ukraine in Jedda.

This is one of the stages of decisions that will be coordinated with the participation of all participants. " At the same time, experts do not deny that under the closed door conditional Brazil or China could lift anything - to speak and about involving in a certain format of Russia. And Saudi Arabia to offer its peace plan. But the most important thing that was stated by all participants of the meeting, in particular, and China, which is the basic principle of Ukraine's territorial integrity.

Alexander Hara also points out that the most important thing is that in the absence of Russia, it was possible to gather the countries of the Global South, which were traditionally located between the West and Russia, and sometimes they were frankly pro -Russian.

Regarding the participation of the countries in the summit, each of them, and especially key players, pursued their goals, and the presence of some was provided by the invitation of the organizer country that has the appropriate positive image and importance for countries such as China, India, Brazil. The main initiator was the United States. It is known that Sullivan visited Saudi Arabia the day before.

In particular, Hara notes that it is important that the meeting was a representative of China, who pretended that he was for peace and under international law. "This does not mean that China will dramatically change its position, but it is very important that it was there," the expert comments. In fact, China made it clear that he was ready to participate in further international negotiations to resolve the war in Ukraine. And the Financial Times writes about it.

As for Brazil, whose representative was present in the online format, and said that Russia should be attracted in a certain format, it is important for it to be in influential states. But her proposal would be logical if it could be said with Russia, but now she is only ready to kill and destroy. India's representative was, first and foremost, to ensure the success of the future meeting in the Grand Twenty format, he could not refuse Saudi Arabia, which is an important partner.

"In the Arab media, this initiative is presented as an important foreign policy step," Alexander Hara summarizes. "Saudi Arabia has a long -term goal - to become an important figure in the international arena. And short -term - to establish relations with the United States, to leave the international blockade with the help of Washington. Try to promote peace in the region - Ukraine supplies food to the country and is generally an interesting country for cooperation.
