    SS: Saudi Arabia, India, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates were among countries participating at a summit on peace for Ukraine that did not sign a final communique, the Swiss government said on Sunday.
    Switzerland, which hosted the summit, said over 90 countries took part in the talks, and the vast majority of them signed up to the communique, according to a list which the Swiss organizers posted at the close of proceedings.
    Brazil, which was listed as an “observer” on the list of attendees, also did not feature as a signatory.

    No surprise there. While all of them will speak up for peace, the vast majority of non-Western states won’t take a side. 

    I’m not really sure what the purpose of this peace summit was, honestly.  Could’ve done all of this in a NATO or EU meeting. It’s only allies that will condemn Russia anyway

    For many countries there is simply more to lose antagonizing Russia when compared to the benefit of doing something “the west” wants.
