the clay richardson. welcome leaders and diplomats from thousands of countries are meeting in switzerland for day 2 of a conference trying to map out a path to ending the war and ukraine. russia is not at the summit and neither is its largest backer, china. but despite the prominence no show, it was ukraine's president for them years. lensky said he hopes the world would work towards a just peace of representatives from over 90 countries, gathered to try and forge a piece one for you. cream, notably, absent as russian president vladimir putin who was not invited the decision to exclude a warring party was met with criticism from some countries,
12:02 pm
including skepticism from a close ally, ukraine, 2nd largest donor germany, chancellor, olaf shoulds set negotiation was crucial, but stressed that it was russia that chose war. no country wants peace more than you queen. but let us be on this piece is more than the absence of, for it is true peace and you cream cannot be achieved without involving russia. but let us look, forgot that as we speak russian and continues is to run an please, the raged, it's brutal. won't savanski defend that the decision to exclude russia and said moscow would be informed when the time was right. there is no russia here. why? because you, for us, so was interested in peace, now would be no war. we must decide to get the what a, just this means for the war and how each can be the cube in its ruler last week.
12:03 pm
so lensky was hoping us president joe biden would attend. instead, vice president camella harris, joint leaders pledging on wavering support for ukraine, and shooting down a so called piece proposal made by putin on the ease of the summit. he claimed russia would end the war if you crean agreed to give up for eastern regions and dropped its nito ambitions and let nothing about the end of this war be decided with out ukraine. by contrast, however, yesterday students put forward a proposal, but we must speak truths. he is not calling for negotiations. he is calling for surrender walk countries like germany and finland, save the summit as a 1st step to lasting peace. it's not expected to result in
12:04 pm
a real breakthrough. in the absence of russia we've corresponded rosie burkhard, following those talks for us in switzerland. and she earlier told me what leaders have actually achieved so far a. well, it's a miss the morning here, high in this with maintenance and leaders, of course, trying to get some clarity on the way forward. but we're still waiting to hear if they're going to come up with a declaration and exactly what is going to be in it. but i think before we get there, we have to really reflect on some of the context here because precious invasion of ukraine. it's full scale invasion if you create has been a source of division globally. not only because it's had huge ripple effects. we heard some african leaders, for example here, talking about the impacts it had on farmers in the african content with price flaring, for example. but also because russia, the evey through the aggressor scene here in europe certainly has been on the mission to try and convince, certainly other parts of the world. but it is the victim. here are russia is not present at these talks. however,
12:05 pm
92 countries are so see the leaders invoice and ministers representative of those 92 countries. all standing together, i think will be seen as some degree of a waiting for ukraine of a symbol of this will not to community, but it is not the slam dunk that key of was hoping for. and that is because there are some quite notable no shows. so for example, some key diplomatic players from the so called global side. so for example, sites, africa, india, indonesia, brazil. they all chose to either send just diplomatic invoice or ministers instead of their leaders. and i think to some extent, that will be seen as a smelled whether or not the stomach can really move anything forward, shift the diet will be seen as weather. there can be a 2nd, another summit which comes after this. and what you might actually see russia at the table, not today. indeed, we know a couple of harris has already left of the summit. so has german chancellor la schultz of a. can you tell us who is it still there and what we might expect from them today?
12:06 pm
there's still a whole host of leaders here. and of course, sometimes when leaders leave and they leave their diplomats or invoice to get on recent talks, that can be actually when the real nitty gritty of the negotiations happens. i understand that those countries here are working on a joint declaration. so some sort of a tax which will like you recall the fundamentals of the united nations charter. so territorial integrity. but it's probably going to be quite vague in the terms of language it uses. because of course, trying to unite this broad churches more than 90 countries. around one goal, that's something which will likely be pretty difficult. and of course we'll have press conferences from the key leaders involved here, particularly, you're creating present loading. there's a lensky, i think he will come most striking optimistic tone as he already has him. try to frame this really is success, but of course a successful see the light, whether or not this is as presidents, when he says a moment in history. when the history of, of moving toward piece a new credit is finally reached. and of course,
12:07 pm
at the moment the war still rages on reservoir to from a very misty switzerland for us. thank you so much as always. well, a month ago ukraine lowered it's draft age from 27 to 252 years of fighting off rushes. invasion of taking a heavy toll on troop numbers. and the next generation is now already getting ready for battle. t w's, i'm in isa visited one group of youngsters, practicing the skills they will need as future folders. molly, on you have to come in or distributes rifles to the separate tactical group. replicas that is troops here only teenagers. so i'm not even that old yet. this is an after school club for the kids of shepherd, teeth can western ukraine. they need 3 times a week to prepare for life in a country up why limit that i took a junior sergeant and an air defense unit. it's the only adult here. she found that
12:08 pm
the program in 2015 with funding from donations grants and the local government, the senior after russia launched its full scale invasion in 2022. the clubs activities took on a new urgency. but elaina says her mission is bigger than just training future soldiers. so what do you accept today? you want to invest the maximum and bringing up this generation watson because the future depends on the beautiful she always they correctly understand who they are. so we have picked up their citizens of ukraine, yet they are needed here so that they can develop the country and was what was the only then will there be a future here? and when you, when it ex, mostly as a supervisor, as the older kids teach, the younger ones, the hard military skills, like how to assemble a real kalashnikov, then they use wouldn't rifles for the drills, but there's no playing around. they're fully aware that their life may some day depend on this training the enforced discipline and relish difficult conditions like
