The Swiss government has confirmed that 100 delegations, including 92 countries and eight organisations, will take part in the Peace Summit to end the war in Ukraine.
The report says that the summit will be attended by 57 world leaders and will be opened by Swiss President Viola Amerd.
"The goal of the summit is to launch a peace process, build trust and establish a set of proposals for the next steps in such a process," the Swiss government writes. "All states present should have the opportunity to offer their vision of a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
At the same time, the statement said that the summit "will be the first opportunity to discuss at the highest level how and when Russia can be included in this process."
"For the Swiss Federal Council, the development of a long-term solution must ultimately require the participation of both sides," the Swiss government said in a statement.
The participants of the international conference on peaceful settlement are expected to discuss the Ukrainian plan to end the conflict.
Among other things, it provides for the withdrawal of Russian troops from all occupied territories of Ukraine, payment of compensation and punishment of those responsible for war crimes.
