Diplomats from Western countries, developing economies to meet in Denmark for Ukraine talks
Officials say Denmark will host a meeting this weekend of national security advisors from Western countries backing Ukraine and countries that have refused to condemn the Russian invasion
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark will host a meeting this weekend of national security advisers from Western countries backing Ukraine and countries that have refused to condemn the Russian invasion, officials said Thursday.
The U.S. will send national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland to the meeting in Copenhagen, which will focus on how to achieve a just peace in Ukraine, a Western official said on condition of anonymity because the trip hasn't been formally announced.
India, Brazil and South Africa, which have refused to condemn the invasion and join Western sanctions on Moscow, have also been invited to the talks, the official said, but couldn’t say which countries would attend.
South Africa foreign ministry spokesman Clayson Monyela confirmed the country would send National Security Prof. Syndey Mufamadi and Foreign Ministry Director-General Zane Dangor to the meeting in the Danish capital.
