The purpose of this study is to collect expert opinions and recommendations regarding the Second Peace Summit — a high-level international event that serves as a platform to promote the Ukrainian Peace Formula and to strengthen international support for Ukraine in its resistance against Russian aggression. It also addresses the negotiations launched in February 2025 between the United States and Russia, initiated by President Donald Trump. In addition to providing a general assessment of the existing negotiation formats, the study analyzes the potential participation of Russia in the upcoming Peace Summit, associated risks, and possible manipulations — tools currently and actively employed by Russia on the international stage and within negotiation processes.
This research was developed by analysts from the Ukrainian Centre for Independent Political Research and the War:Observe initiative, based on recommendations from 25 international and Ukrainian experts collected through in-depth surveys and interviews. We express our sincere gratitude to every expert who provided commentary and participated in this research.
