Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the presence of more than 90 countries at his Swiss peace summit shows the world stands with his nation and an end to the war is now closer. Russia, which is not participating has dismissed the conference as a waste of time. Kyiv’s allies say it’s a useful step towards peace but acknowledge that at some point, Moscow will have to be brought to the negotiating table. SBS' Janice Peterson spoke with Federal Minister Bill Shorten who's in Burgen-stock as Australia's delegate to the gathering.
