Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Monday said that his government is aiming to have a peace summit by the end of February, preferably at the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as a possible mediator.
"The United Nations could be the best venue for holding this summit, because this is not about making a favor to a certain country," he said in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press.
About Guterres' role, Kuleba said: "He has proven himself to be an efficient mediator and an efficient negotiator, and most importantly, as a man of principle and integrity. So we would welcome his active participation."
During the interview, Kuleba also said he was "absolutely satisfied" with the results of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the U.S. last week, and he revealed that the U.S. government had made a special plan to get the Patriot missile battery ready to be operational in the country in less than six months.
