The Facts
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.
