This is the best summary I could come up with:

Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said Vladimir Putin will give a standing ovation to Joe Biden if the US president fails to attend a peace summit in Switzerland next month.

On a visit to Brussels where he signed a 10-year security pact with Belgium, the Ukrainian leader said it would not be “a strong decision” if Biden failed to attend the talks scheduled for 15-16 June near Lucerne.

Zelenskiy’s plea to end the limits on western weapons was supported by the Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, who said it was time for EU member states to lift restrictions on Ukraine striking Russian territory.

Allowing Ukrainians to attack military sites on the other side of the frontline in Russia was legitimate, Stoltenberg said, echoing remarks from the EU’s chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, who said it was within the rules of war as long as it was within humanitarian law.

On Monday Zelenskiy was in Spain where the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, pledged €1bn in military aid for Ukraine in a decade-long deal that Madrid said would strengthen Ukrainian air defences.

Switzerland’s upper house of parliament has backed a motion to toughen measures to expel spies, taking aim at Russian intelligence agents before the peace summit.
