Nations like Türkiye, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil, and even China have sufficient incentives or influence to convince the Kremlin to change course, Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian minister of foreign affairs, told Arab News, Report informs.
Kuleba said it was the collective voice of the Global South, as opposed to individual nations, that would ultimately bring Russia to the table: “So, perhaps every country acting on its own doesn’t have a sufficient amount of energy that could make Russia change its position. But if you take all of these countries together, the cumulative effect on Russia can be a game changer.”
“The purpose of Kyiv is to bring together everyone who is willing to change the situation for the good,” the minister added. “Because together we can stop this war, we can implement a peace formula and restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity, in the interests of the entire international community.”
