Rishi Sunak has arrived in Switzerland for what is likely to be his last international engagement before the UK general election.<\/p>\n

The prime minister is attending a Ukraine peace summit<\/a><\/strong> – along with 50 other world leaders – at a secluded resort near Lake Lucerne.<\/p>\n

Addressing the event, Mr Sunak will warn Russia’s allies that they are “on the wrong side of history”.<\/p>\n

He will say: “Putin has no interest in a genuine peace. He has launched a sustained diplomatic campaign against this summit ordering countries to stay away, spinning a phoney narrative about his willingness to negotiate.”<\/p>\n

The event is the largest world leader gathering focused solely on Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak is expected to meet the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a><\/strong> to reiterate the UK’s support for the country and re-emphasise that any peace deal should be on his terms.<\/p>\n

The meeting comes a day after the prime minister arrived back from the G7 summit in Italy<\/a><\/strong> and at the midway point of the general election campaign.<\/p>\n

With just under three weeks until polling day, the Conservatives continue to lag in the polls meaning this could be the last overseas summit Mr Sunak attends as prime minister.<\/p>\n
