Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Saudi Arabia, scheduled for the past Saturday, may now take place after the peace conference, the report read.
Saudi Arabia has not yet officially announced its decision not to attend the conference.
Switzerland will host a peace conference on Ukraine not far off from the city of Lucerne from June 15-16. In April, the spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Bern, Vladimir Khokhlov, told Sputnik that Switzerland did not invite Russia to the summit, adding that Moscow had no plans to participate in the event even if invited.
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Since then, Moscow has said many times that it was ready to negotiate with Ukraine. Russian and Ukrainian delegations held several rounds of peace talks in the early days of the conflict, but the negotiations failed, with Kiev legislating a ban on further peace talks.
Western countries have been calling on Russia to engage in negotiations with Ukraine, but at the same time, the West keeps ignoring Kiev's continuous refusal of dialogue.
