Denmark on Saturday hosts a meeting organised by Ukraine bringing together several nations -- including those who have remained neutral on the Russian invasion -- to discuss a path towards peace, reports AFP.
Few details have leaked about the meeting. However a Western official speaking on condition of anonymity said that White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan would attend.
The meeting in Copenhagen aims to discuss ways of achieving a "just and lasting peace" in Ukraine, the source said.
The invitees include top security officials from the United States, the European Union and other countries that have backed Ukraine since Russia invaded last year, as well as those that have not condemned the invasion, the source added.
They did not specify which countries.
"We have worked very hard inside (the) G7 on a peace formula," said a European diplomatic source, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
"So the idea is to go beyond that and involve key actors like Brazil and India. We frankly expect and wish that China will be there."
The meeting was first reported by the UK's Financial Times.
It cited sources familiar with the plans as saying the meeting could include officials from Brazil, India and South Africa, although the list of attendees had not been finalised.
