Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy first introduced the 10-point peace plan to the global leaders during the G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia in November of last year.
In December, Zelenskyy urged world leaders to support his idea for a Global Peace Summit that would focus on the peace plan.

The Ukrainian Peace Summit will be divided into three phases, with the first phase held in Denmark on June 27, the second phase to take place in Saudi Arabia in early August, and the last phase to possibly take place by the end of the year.
Western allies have promised to support Ukraine with more weapons during the two-day North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania earlier this month.
However, Ukraine’s NATO membership remains unclear as member states are divided on whether to invite Ukraine to the alliance.
