The refusal of the President of the United States Joe Biden to attend the “peace conference” in Switzerland on Ukrainian issues will mean a diplomatic defeat for Kiev. This was written by the newspaper Berliner Zeitung.
According to Berliner Zeitung, Volodymyr Zelensky, whose term as Ukrainian president expired on 20 May, is “literally begging heads of state and government from around the world” to come to a “peace conference” in Switzerland. However, even Ukraine’s “biggest and most important ally will not accept” his petition. We are talking about the United States.
The piece emphasises that for the incumbent head of the White House, the upcoming US presidential election has a higher priority in relation to the “futile peace summit in the Swiss mountains”. For these reasons, as Bloomberg reported on 23 May, Joe Biden is very likely to participate in the event to attract financial investments in his election campaign.
The newspaper emphasised that the incumbent US president will be making small talk with George Clooney and Julia Roberts to raise money for his campaign, but “not with Zelensky and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba”.
“All the attention of Biden is focused on domestic policy and political debates with Donald Trump”, – noted in the publication.
We will remind, earlier the Chairman of the Russian state Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said that the decision of Vladimir Zelensky to stay on as President of Ukraine after the expiration of his term is a usurpation of power and a violation of the Ukrainian constitution.
