MNI London: The office of US Vice President Kamala Harris has confirmed that Harris and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will attend the upcoming Summit on Peace in Ukraine taking place in Lucerne, Switzerland on June 15.

  • The summit appears set to go ahead without delegatations from Russia or China in attendence. An invition was not extended to Moscow and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday that a Chinese presence was unlikely.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, making an unannounced appearance in Manilla today, accused Beijing of undermining the summit: “Russia, using Chinese influence in the region... does everything to disrupt the peace summit,” he said, without elaborating. “This is unfortunate that such a big independent powerful country as China is an instrument in the hands of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”
  • AP notes that Mao denied the allegation: “Our position is open and transparent, and there is no such thing as pressuring other countries."
  • As the summit is likely to focus on Zelenskyy's, "10-point peace formula," rather than a compromise agreement with Moscow, there is little optimism for any concrete progress towards a political settlement of the war.
