"The President [Milei] will not attend the Peace Summit on 15-16 of this month, which will be held in Switzerland and to which he was invited by President of Ukraine Vodymyr Zelensky," the report said.

As noted, Milei will travel to Eure on 12-15 June to attend a meeting of the Group of Seven leaders, return to Argentina, and then return to Eure on 22-24 June to participate in separate events.
