We have already passed many stages of presenting the formula to leaders and countries from different parts of the world. The day before the formula was successfully presented to the participants of the Arab League Summit.”

“I believe India will participate in restoring the rules-based international order that all free nations clearly need,” President Zelenskyy went on to say.
