Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a former actor, has quite the knack for strange theater of the absurd. Now he’s hosting a “peace summit” which doesn’t invite his adversary, Russia, and which his main supporter, President Joe Biden, is refusing to attend. That, plus the fact that Ukraine says it doesn’t want peace.
