Russia: Country to not attend first Peace Council meeting in Washington

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that Moscow will not participate in the first Peace Council meeting scheduled for February 19. During her press conference, Zakharova emphasized that Russia has not yet determined its official position regarding the council, diverging from the Washington‑led initiative whose founding charter was recently signed in Davos. She explained that Russia is still working to formulate a coherent stance on the organization and has not formally agreed to join its board. The diplomat noted that caution is necessary to assess the council’s true objectives before establishing a presence in the United States.
