dmytro kuleba in kyiv, welcome to hardtalk. it s good to be with you again, stephen. it s great to have you back on the show. you have just arrived back in kyiv from a round of intensive diplomacy, including that so called peace summit in switzerland. for all of the talking, what have you actually achieved in practical terms? well, with the utmost respect, there is nothing so called in the summit that we held. it was indeed a peace summit convened upon the initiative of ukraine, based on the peace formula put forward by president zelensky. this formula is based on the principles of international law and the un charter. we had 100 participants countries and international organisations and one of the most important deliverables is the following putin keeps making the point that the whole war that he launched against ukraine is ukraine and the west fighting on the one side, and russia and the rest of the world fighting on the other side. and this is simply not true. and
