The Ukrainian government has canceled a meeting intended to involve Vladimir Zelensky and Latin American leaders out of fear it would become a PR disaster, Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported on Tuesday. Very few of the invitees confirmed that they would attend the event, the paper wrote. ...

Ukrainian officials reportedly said it would be "an appropriate platform" for Zelensky to present what they called "relevant and reliable information" about the conflict. Kiev also wanted to rally support for the so-called Zelensky 'peace formula' - a set of demands put forward by Ukraine as pre-conditions for peace talks. Moscow has rejected the demands, calling them unacceptable.

"Peace formula" involves Kremlin surrendering Crimea as a precondition to peace negotiations. This was a non-starter even in 2022.

And Kremlin "peace formula" involves surrendering all currently occupied territory, as well as all of Donetsk (which is not currently occupies), in addition to a total demilitarization, which is a non-starter for Ukraine. The difference between the two proposals is the Crimea was a Ukrainian territory that was illegally annexed.

And Kremlin "peace formula"

False equivalence.

As Kremlin isn't trying to pressure Third World into embargoing Ukraine until it accepts its "peace formula", Kremlin's demands for negotiations don't matter.

And yet again you are trying to substitute topic of discussion (ridiculousness of Zelensky) with something else.
