Ukraine is actively seeking diplomatic engagement with key international leaders, as evidenced by recent invitations extended to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna announced efforts to organize Orban's visit, which would be the first by a Hungarian leader since Russia's invasion. Concurrently, Ihor Zhovkva, Deputy Head of the Presidential Office, has invited President Xi to a 'peace summit' planned to be held in Switzerland. This marks a significant outreach to China, which has historically refrained from criticizing Russia's actions in Ukraine. The summit aims to gather world leaders to address the ongoing conflict, although Russia has not been invited and has dismissed Ukraine's peace plan proposals.
