There is a clear position among the participants of the Peace Summit in Switzerland on the joint communiqué. Everyone will be able to support it, including those countries that are not participating in the summit, according to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak.
He responds to Swiss media reports that the joint communiqué has not yet been agreed upon, and debates continue among the participants on some elements of the text.
"There is a clear position on the communiqué, it has been circulated among the participants. We expect that most countries will join it. Even those countries that did not come to this summit will be able to join it. Very soon we will see the list of countries that have joined this communiqué. But these processes require harmonization until the last minute, but there are no global issues because we have a clear position,” Yermak said.
As he explained, it will be enough for countries and their leaders to make an official statement of support to join the joint communiqué.
