Poland and Italy confirmed they will not join a proposed international “Board of Peace” initiative, citing concerns about its structure and potential overlap with existing global institutions. Officials from both governments stated they would continue to monitor developments but will remain outside the project for now.
The initiative was initially presented as a framework aimed at supporting ceasefire negotiations and broader diplomatic coordination.

Analysts noted that participation decisions vary widely among Western allies.
Several European leaders emphasised that existing diplomatic channels remain the primary mechanism for conflict resolution.
