Participants in a meeting between Western countries and the global South on Ukraine in Copenhagen last week could not reach agreement on ways to resolve the conflict in that country, Bloomberg news agency said Wednesday.
In addition to the Group of Seven (G7) countries and Ukraine, the event was attended by representatives from India, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. The agency points out that despite the general agreement on the need for a peaceful settlement based on the principles of the UN Charter, the participants of the meeting to a large extent disagreed on how to implement the process of conflict resolution.
Earlier, the German TV channel ARD reported that in Copenhagen on June 24, “in the conditions of the strictest secrecy” an international meeting on Ukraine was held with the participation of diplomats from Western countries and representatives of Brazil, India, China and South Africa. The TV channel noted that the goal of the West was to secure the support of the BRICS countries, which remain neutral in the situation around Ukraine. Kiev confirmed that a meeting of national security advisers and “political directors” of Ukraine, the G7 countries and the Global South was held in Copenhagen.
