With Russia's invasion of Ukraine in its third year, the two sides to the conflict remain far apart on any future path to peace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is pursuing a "victory plan", while Russian President Vladimir Putin says any negotiations can only begin if Kyiv abandons vast swaths of territory and drops its bid to join NATO.

Ukraine is disappointed that Switzerland supported the so-called "China-Brazil six-point consensus".This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Foreign

Switzerland supports the “peace initiative” of China and Brazil to resolve the war in Ukraine. This is despite the fact that it does not refer to the UN Charter and does not explicitly mention the territorial integrity of Ukraine,

"We do not see the logic in this decision, especially given that together with Switzerland, we held the First Global Peace Summit on June 15-16 in Bürgenstock, attended by representatives from 100 countries and international organizations,

When Beijing says that it wants peace…but on the other hand, is allowing its companies to take actions that are actually helping Putin continue the aggression, that doesn’t add up,” Blinken said

Switzerland has voiced its support for the Sino-Brazilian "peace initiative" regarding Ukraine, despite its lack of reference to the UN Charter and omission of direct mention of Ukraine's territorial integrity.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (MFA) stated that they cannot understand the logic behind Switzerland's decision to support the initiative by China and Brazil to end the war. They emphasized that this decision does not align with Ukraine's interests and will only complicate the process of achieving peace for Ukraine,
