"Moving towards peace means acting quickly. Preparations will take months, not years," he said, adding that the next summit could be held once a peace action plan is ready and "every step is worked out."
Kyiv has already begun negotiations with several countries that have "expressed their interest in hosting the second peace summit. I am confident that the choice will be of truly global significance.”
This follows an earlier report on the same day that the summit’s final communiqué had been signed by 80 countries and four organizations.

Saudi Arabia, Thailand, India, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates are among those who decided to abstain.
Earlier in the day, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the summit’s joint communique was ready and would be “open for signing by countries” that had not participated.

"The text has been completed, and at the end of the summit, the presidents will announce the adoption of the resolution," he said, adding that several countries that did not attend are conducting an internal analysis of the joint communiqué and plan to sign it.
The text is balanced and includes all the principled positions that Kyiv insisted on.
"No alternative options are being considered at the summit," according to Kuleba.
The draft communiqué, as reported by Reuters earlier in the day, strongly condemns the full-scale Russian invasion, demands the security and safety of nuclear power plants, calls for the release of prisoners and the return of abducted Ukrainians, and emphasizes the maintenance of safe commercial shipping in the Black and Azov seas.
