Switzerland’s government had announced plans to hold a high-level international conference in June to help chart a path toward peace in Ukraine.
But Putin said a peace process can’t happen without Russia.
Speaking with Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow, Putin said: “They aren’t inviting us there.
“Moreover, they think there is nothing for us to do there, but at the same time they say that’s it’s impossible to decide anything without us. It would have been funny if it weren’t so sad.”
