The United States will participate in an upcoming peace summit on Ukraine, to be held at the Buergenstock resort near Lucerne from June 15-16, according to a US official.

The official, who spoke to Sputnik on the condition of anonymity, did not specify which representatives from the US would be in attendance.

The Swiss-hosted summit aims to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and allegedly promote a pathway to peace.

Over 160 delegations from around the globe have been invited, with 16 having declined to attend so far.

Russia has not been invited to the summit, a decision that has sparked criticism from Moscow.

On May 6, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov labeled the initiative as a "mockery of negotiations".

"We have nobody to talk to. I cited some statements by Ukrainian, US, and European leadership, the political class. None of them are ready for a serious conversation. They are 'playing' a parody of negotiations by having a meeting in Switzerland. The Copenhagen format is completely dead-ended," Lavrov told Bosnian broadcaster ATV.

Likewise, on May 13, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "the peace conference is clearly not result-oriented."

As for Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, the Summit was labeled a "hoax" invented by the Biden administration.

"It is just another hoax invented by the US State Department. And everyone understands this. How can a 'peace conference' be organized by those who simultaneously supply weapons to the conflict zone with supposedly pacifist initiatives?" the spokeswoman said. 

Kiev’s claims that Russia wants to derail the Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland are lies, as the event itself is a hoax – Moscow
