Switzerland has expressed its readiness to host a high-level meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Nicolas Bideau, head of communication at Switzerland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Speaking to the Swiss newspaper Le Temps, Bideau referenced the Global Peace Summit held in Switzerland last June. He highlighted that following the summit, Ukraine, Russia, and the United States have been regularly informed of Switzerland’s willingness to facilitate diplomatic initiatives:
“After the Bürgenstock Summit, Ukraine, Russia, and the United States were regularly informed about our readiness to support diplomatic efforts to achieve peace,” Bideau told Le Temps.
This statement comes as the Kremlin signals openness to engaging with the US administration to reach a potential agreement aimed at ending Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.
