Switzerland will host a high level conference on June 15-16 to consolidate global support for a peace framework advocated by Ukraine that would end the war with Russia.

The aim of the gathering is to “create a common understanding” on how to achieve “a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine in accordance with international law and the United Nations charter,” the Swiss government said in a statement on Wednesday.
