A secret meeting was held on December 16, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where representatives from non-Russian nations gathered to hear about Ukraine’s plans to peacefully conclude its war with Russia. In Davos, Switzerland, on January 14, just before the World Economic Forum, there will be the next gathering. A leader-level summit is too soon, according to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and India; Brazil, China, and the UAE did not show up. To get ready for a “global peace conference” in February 2024, the framework is vital for Ukraine. The allied push has sputtered in recent months as Russia’s invasion heads toward its third year. In the US and the European Union, more than $100 billion in vital aid stalled in approval processes in Washington and Brussels, while Ukraine’s counteroffensive last year failed to deliver a major battlefield breakthrough. Some EU states are falling short in fulfilling pledges they made to provide Kyiv with more weapons and artillery ammunition, just as Ukraine is facing repeated waves of Russian missile attacks. The Israel-Hamas war has also fueled differences with the Global South.
