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.
