“President Zelensky will speak at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on June 2,” a source in Kyiv told This Week in Asia. The regional security conference at the Shangri-La Hotel began on Friday and will end on Sunday.

It is understood that Zelensky is reaching out to the international community to back Ukraine’s 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s invasion of the country. The Russo-Ukrainian war has been raging since 2014, with its latest phase beginning on February 24, 2022, after Moscow announced a “special military operation” in Ukraine.

The peace formula includes the withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine and the restoration of the country’s territorial integrity within internationally recognised borders following Ukraine’s declaration of independence in 1991.
