Regardless of whether US President Joe Biden is represented at the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, it will not indicate that the US has changed its attitude towards supporting Ukraine.
This is how White House adviser John Kirby responded to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s statement that US President Joe Biden must attend the Peace Summit on June 15-16, otherwise Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will receive a standing ovation. < /p>
US Participation at the Peace Summit
— I have no plans to make an announcement today regarding US representation at the Peace Summit. Regardless of who represents the United States, it cannot be said that the United States does not support Ukraine. From the very beginning, no other leader has done, or continues to do, as much as President Biden to make sure Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression, — Kirby stated.
The White House adviser stressed that in any case it cannot be said that President Biden does not support Ukraine.

According to him, no other leader has done so much for Ukraine in terms of meeting immediate defense needs and strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the long term.
— Whatever the end of the war looks like, they (Ukrainians, — Ed.) will still have a long border with Russia. This is a border that needs to be protected. The President made a commitment to Ukraine to be there for the long term, — he noted.
John Kirby noted that the United States supports the Ukrainian Peace Formula presented by President Vladimir Zelensky in 2022.
