Quote: "The Ukrainian Peace Formula, proposed by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, already unites 83 countries around the world.

My colleagues and I are holding the 4th meeting of national security advisors regarding the Peace Formula in Switzerland.

I presented the 6th point of the Peace Formula: withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine.

I emphasised that it's impossible to talk about restoring the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine without the complete withdrawal and disarmament of Russian troops and terrorist organisations from the temporarily occupied territories.

I suggested creating an international working group at the level of Ministers of Defence and National Security Advisors to jointly work out a mechanism for the withdrawal of troops."

Details: Umerov added that the Ukrainian Peace Formula, proposed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, already unites 83 countries.

Background: The fourth meeting of national security advisers on the Ukrainian Peace Formula is taking place in Davos, Switzerland, on Sunday, 14 January.
