UKRAINE – Ukraine is seeking international support for its peace plan, in a 2-day meeting held as of today in Malta. As many as 50 countries are taking part, but Russia is not among them. According to AFP, this is the 3rd meeting of this kind, and organisers hope it would result in a joint declaration. The 10-point plan proposed by Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy includes, among other things, the pull out of Russian troops from the occupied Ukrainian territories, including Donbas, part of which is under separatist control since 2014, and Crimea, occupied and annexed by Russia in 2014. Last year, Moscow annexed 4 Ukrainian regions, partly occupied by its troops after the large-scale invasion of February 24.
