Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed hope that the upcoming Global Peace Summit could significantly advance the cause of achieving a lasting and just peace for Ukraine. In a Facebook post, Zelensky highlighted the summit's potential to unite international efforts toward ending the conflict with Russia.

"The Global Peace Summit has the potential to bring Ukraine closer to lasting and just peace," Zelensky wrote. He emphasized that one of the most critical steps toward this goal is the return of captives and deportees, including children who have been abducted by Russian forces from occupied parts of Ukraine.

"Russia is killing, ruining, and trying to destroy our future. But we are stronger," Zelensky stated. "We must do everything in our power to ensure that every Ukrainian child is at home, happy, with their family, and safe."

Why This Matters: Zelensky believes that the international community possesses the strength and leadership necessary to help restore justice by reuniting displaced Ukrainians with their homeland. He underscored the importance of global cooperation in addressing these humanitarian issues.
