It was soon revealed that Russia wouldn't be invited to this conference

What do they hope to accomplish?

Zelensky tells press conference: Our teams start from tomorrow on plans to hold a global peace conference in Switzerland

It is critical that work continues on methods used by Russia to bypass sanctions

We would want countries of the global south to be present at peace conference

We are open to all countries that respect our sovereignty and territorial integrity at peace summit

We would want China to be involved in our peace formula

Apparently they are trying to beg global south including China to 180 their position for no reason and become fellow compradors to USA.

It almost made a certain kind of sense when they thought their offensive would succeed. Like they'd brow beat Russia and then demand surrender on their terms, and countries supporting Russia would have no choice but to go along. However, now that their army is being crushed and western support is collapsing, this is just a complete farce.
