<p>We support a just and sustainable peace which restores Ukraine's sovereignty and
territorial integrity, underpinned by the UN Charter. President Zelenskyy has clearly
indicated Ukraine's desire for peace in his Peace Formula, which reflects principles
supported by 141 countries in the UN General Assembly. The UK has supported Ukraine
to convene senior officials from G7 and several G20 countries, to discuss principles
for a just peace. We welcome the planned conference in Switzerland to discuss these
principles further. By contrast, Russia's continued actions on the battlefield demonstrate
that President Putin has no meaningful interest in a just peace. It will be for Ukraine
to determine its position in any negotiations, just as it is for Ukraine to decide
its democratic future and long-term security arrangements. The quickest path to peace
would be for President Putin to withdraw all Russian troops illegally present in Ukraine
and end its aggression against its neighbour.</p>
