With Switzerland expected to host a high-level global peace summit at the request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the coming months, Estonia President Alar Karis has courted President Mokgweetsi Masisi as the two ‘small’ nations to join forces for a peaceful resolution to the bitter and bloody Russian-Ukraine war.

Russia began its invasion of Ukraine two years ago and the latter continues to fight for freedom against the former’s brutal aggression.

Karis told the media during his State visit this week that he made a strong appeal to Masisi to participate at Zelensky’s peace plan discussions because Botswana has peace knowledge building they could use. In January, the Ukrainian President promoted a Ukrainian peace plan and Switzerland from a neutral stance agreed to host a global peace summit on Ukraine. The Estonia President Karis this week was not shy to state that Russia destabilises global economy by stealing Ukrainian grain thereby increasing food and energy prices and causing global inflation.
