(ANSA-AFP) - BURGENSTOCK, JUN 17 - World leaders on Sunday
backed Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity, and the
need for eventual talks with Russia on ending the war -- but
left the key questions of how and when unresolved. More than two
years after Russia invaded, leaders and top officials from more
than 90 states spent the weekend at a Swiss mountainside resort
for a two-day summit dedicated to resolving the largest European
conflict since World War II.
"Russia can start negotiations with us even tomorrow without
waiting for anything -- if they leave our legal territories."
Moscow meanwhile doubled down on its demand for Kyiv's effective
surrender as a starting point for negotiations. (ANSA-AFP).
