Ukraine will host the Global Peace Summit/Collage 24 Channel Ukraine plans to hold a Global Peace Summit this fall. Vladimir Zelensky made a corresponding statement at a meeting of the UN Security Council. The results of the summit may please Ukraine. At this summit, a vision of a just world in Ukraine can be agreed upon. Igor Chalenko, a political scientist, head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies, told Channel 24 about this, adding that this will be evidence of the support of the world community. What is the summit aimed at?In August 2023, a summit was held in the Saudi city of Jeddah to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine. Then the world assured that we would receive them, but after the war. The goals of the Global Peace Summit are somewhat different.
They are to crystallize the picture of a just world, when Ukraine will not be included in the negotiation process with Russia. And its position will be supported by the position of the international community,” noted Igor Chalenko.
The world summit will help prove once again that Ukraine is not supposedly led by the “collective West.” After all, there will be representatives of China, the Republic of South Africa, and countries of the Global South.
“Ukraine is now entering completely new horizons of geopolitics. Russia simply has no one to appeal to, except perhaps North Korea, which is what they have been doing lately,” the political scientist noted.
Security guarantees are a parallel process now. In particular, the implementation of the initial agreed positions on their development continues. Let us note that in July a statement was made from the G7 on support for Ukraine, and then dozens of countries joined it.

Russia is stalling for time
At the end of this year, it will probably be possible to see first developments on security guarantees for Ukraine. Perhaps we will talk about the Israeli scenario or elements of this model.
Today Russia is trying to disrupt this and make a certain false start of these negotiations in order to pause the war and receive additional resources from its own economy, which has been transferred to a war footing, Chalenko emphasized.
The Kremlin also hopes to carry out an additional wave mobilization, as discussed in the Ukrainian General Staff and intelligence. Russia's capabilities here range from 400 to 450 thousand people.
However, of course, this Putin regime needs time. Therefore, the “peace negotiations” that are being talked about in Russia are only an opportunity to get this time and accumulate resources.
Security guarantees for Ukraine: what is known
- During his visit to Canada, Vladimir Zelensky gave a press conference together with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. There, the President of Ukraine explained what security guarantees they see. We are talking about both humanitarian and military guarantees. In particular, strengthening the Ukrainian army and protecting Ukraine's energy and infrastructure.
- At the summit in Vilnius, held on July 11-12, the G7 countries signed a declaration on security guarantees for Ukraine. After this, a number of other countries joined the declaration. The last was Japan, which is an unprecedented step on their part. After all, after World War II, the country refused to talk about military issues, including security guarantees for other states.
- We also recall that at the summit in Vilnius, NATO members agreed to accept Ukraine into the Alliance without a MAP. Although the admission itself has not yet been offered. They explained that this requires ending the war with Russia.
