Switzerland to hold Ukraine peace conference in June
The Swiss government said that it will hold a two-day Ukraine peace conference in June.
“There is currently sufficient international support for a high-level conference to launch the peace process,” the Swiss government, or Federal Council, said in a statement.
Russia has said it would not take part in such an event.
The peace conference aims to establish a framework favorable for a lasting peace in , along with “a concrete roadmap for Russia’s participation in the peace process.”
The peace conference is based on discussions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassius in recent months.
Top officials from dozens of countries are expected to attend the event.

German government document proposes Ukraine rebuilding scheme
The German government has drawn up a 15-point plan for economic reconstruction in Ukraine.
The proposal is based on financial subsidies and other forms of assistance for small and medium-based firms in Ukraine. The strategy is also based on investment guarantees for German companies seeking to do business in the country.
“Ukraine needs more than weapons to survive this war. It is also important that the economy continues to function and the country can finance reconstruction,” German Development Minister Svenja Schulze said.
