In his first press conference since attending the NATO summit in Washington last week, Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Russia should attend a second peace summit after it was excluded from the first event a month earlier.

A total of 78 countries signed the final communiqué from the June conference in Switzerland. However, a number of attendees were absent from the signatory list, with many calling for eventual Russian participation.

Speaking from Kyiv on Monday, Zelenskyy said that he aims to have a plan for the next event of its kind ready by November, adding, "I think that representatives of Russia should be at the second summit."

In Washington later in the day, US Dept. of State spokesman Matthew Miller was asked if the US had any hand in influencing Ukraine on Russian participation. "It's something that we discussed with them," he said — but added that any decisions around diplomatic negotiations were solely Ukraine's to make.

Regarding the prospect of Ukraine deciding to negotiate, Miller added: "As their partner, as their backer, we will support them if that's the path that they choose to take. We have always made that clear." He alleged, "It has never been clear that the Kremlin is ready for actual diplomacy."

Meanwhile, commenting on Zelenskyy's remarks on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "The first peace summit was not a peace summit at all. So one must understand first what he [Zelenskyy] has in mind."
