Zelensky turns up in Manila to urge attendance at the Swiss organised ‘peace summit’
UKRAINIAN President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the Philippines today to urge regional leaders to attend a Swiss-organised peace summit on the war in his country.
Mr Zelensky has accused Russia, with China’s help, of trying to undermine the summit, to which Moscow has not been invited.
He arrived today to a red-carpet welcome, receiving military honours at the presidential palace before meeting President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr.
