Zelenskyy: World leaders must join peace talks

SINGAPORE — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked a group of defense officials at a security forum in Singapore on Sunday to attend a forthcoming peace summit, noting that Ukraine was prepared to listen to recommendations on ending the war with Russia.

He also expressed disappointment that 'some world leaders' had not signed up for the peace summit after China signaled President Xi Jinping would not attend and with US President Joe Biden yet to commit.
