The White House has confirmed the participation of the United States in the peace summit in Switzerland, but it is not known whether President Joe Biden will attend it.
This was stated by White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre during a briefing, Voice of America reports.
"As you know, we took an active part in each of the previous Ukrainian peace summits. The US government is involved in this. And we will be represented at this upcoming summit,” she said.
When asked by a journalist whether Biden himself will be present at the summit, the speaker replied that she "does not have any more specific information to share."
- On May 24, the Bloomberg agency reported that Biden will probably miss the Global Peace Summit on the settlement of the war in Ukraine, as he will go to a charity event to raise funds for the election campaign in California.
- On May 28, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on Biden to come to the Peace Summit in person.
