Reclaiming Victory: The Global Peace Summit 2025

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
My beloved brothers and sisters of the world,

There comes a time when the bullets must stop and the hearts must speak. The war between Russia and Ukraine is not just a regional conflict—it is a mirror. It reflects our wounded pride, our unresolved past, and our fear of the other. But more than that, it is a test. A test of whether humanity will remain a family divided by flags or rise as one family under God.

When I met President Gorbachev, and later Chairman Kim Il Sung, I did not speak to them as opponents. I spoke as a son of Heaven, appealing to other sons. Peace is not won by force. It is chosen—through courage, compassion, and truth.

That is why this summit has been called. Not to carve up victory, but to reclaim it—to rediscover that the highest form of winning is reconciliation. And the greatest legacy is not land, but love.

In these five conversations, we will not simply negotiate treaties. We will reimagine victory. We will rebuild hope. And we will listen—not as Russians or Ukrainians, presidents or prophets—but as children of God trying to come home.

Let the healing begin.

 (Note: This is an imaginary conversation, a creative exploration of an idea, and not a real speech or event.)

Topic 1: Reframing Victory — What Does “Winning” Really Mean Now?

Participants:

• Rev. Sun Myung Moon (Moderator)
• Vladimir Putin
• Volodymyr Zelensky
• Donald Trump
• Jordan Peterson
• Angela Merkel
• Dalai Lama

Introduction (Rev. Sun Myung Moon)

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
History shows us that the victors of war often become prisoners of pride, while the so-called losers become seeds of resurrection. True peace begins when we stop asking, “Who won?” and begin asking, “Who healed?” Today, I ask each of you to reflect not on political gains, but on eternal purpose. What if the greatest victory... is unity?

Let me begin with this question:

If military victory is no longer the highest goal, what does true victory look like for your nation — and for your people?

Putin:
Victory must bring security. I do not speak only of physical borders, but of spiritual ones—protection of our identity. If the world allows Russia to be humiliated, that is not peace. But if we can preserve dignity, language, and influence through respect—not dominance—then perhaps that is a victory history will understand.

Dalai Lama:
Real victory is inner peace. If Russia and Ukraine learn to forgive—not just each other but also themselves—they will inspire the world. Guns silence people, but compassion opens their voices. When you embrace your enemy as your brother, you become a spiritual giant. That is victory.

Trump:
Look, wars are bad deals. Long-term? They don’t win. What wins? A booming economy, families thriving, strong borders and strong alliances. Victory today means being able to shake hands and say, “You get what matters most, and so do we.” That's the Art of the Peace Deal.

Zelensky:
I once played a president on television who stood up to corruption. Now I’m living that role for real. But victory isn’t about flags over buildings—it’s about mothers no longer crying over their sons. If my people can sleep without fear, that’s victory. If truth outlives propaganda, that’s our triumph.

Peterson:
The masculine archetype must evolve. To die for one’s country is noble, but to rebuild it after pain is divine. A victorious man is not the conqueror, but the father who plants peace so his children never need to fight. We must rewrite the mythology: from warrior to reconciler.

Merkel:
Germany once believed in destructive victory. It brought only shame and division. True victory comes through reintegration—not just of land, but of hearts. The world must allow Russia and Ukraine to walk away with dignity, even if that means everyone compromises.

Rev. Moon follows up:

Thank you. Let me offer a second question:

What personal or national fear must be surrendered in order to make this kind of victory possible?

Trump:
For me? It’s ego. Leaders hate to look weak. But what if strength is admitting, “This isn’t working”? I had to make peace with North Korea by seeing Kim not as a madman, but a man with pride. Russia, Ukraine—same thing. Drop the fear of optics. Embrace results.

Merkel:
Europe must surrender the illusion that more weapons equal more safety. This war taught us the limits of deterrence. We need diplomacy rooted in humility, not just calculation.

Putin:
Fear? That Russia will vanish in history’s dust. I fear our story being rewritten by others. To surrender that fear, we must trust that our language, faith, and soul will survive—not through domination, but through recognition.

Dalai Lama:
Yes, fear must go. Fear is illusion. We fear being small if we forgive. But true forgiveness is the greatest power. Ukraine and Russia are neighbors forever. If they do not love each other, their wounds will never heal.

Zelensky:
We fear that surrender means betrayal. Every street taken was bought with blood. But I’m learning: peace does not mean giving up the past. It means choosing the future. Can we honor our dead by ending death?

Peterson:
We fear irrelevance. That all this suffering will be for nothing. But here’s the paradox: only by ending the fight can we give meaning to the fight. Peace gives the suffering a purpose beyond more pain.

Final question from Rev. Moon:

If you had to design a single gesture, action, or policy tomorrow to symbolize this new kind of victory, what would it be?

Putin:
I would announce a demilitarized cultural zone—a shared space where Ukrainian and Russian artists, teachers, and children meet. No tanks. Only memory, music, and language.

Peterson:
I would commission a monument in Kyiv and Moscow—twin sculptures of a father holding a wounded son. Same sculpture, mirrored. One war, one pain, one healing.

Zelensky:
I would return captured children. No negotiations. Just a plane landing, doors opening, and parents running to embrace what was stolen. That would begin peace.

Dalai Lama:
I would sit with both soldiers—Russian and Ukrainian—and share tea. Just tea. No words, just presence. This is how humanity remembers itself.

Trump:
Simple. A handshake on live TV. No scripts. Just me, Putin, and Zelensky. We say: “No more graves. Let’s build towers, not tombstones.” And then we do it. Real action.

Merkel:
I would announce a youth exchange program—10,000 Russian and Ukrainian teenagers spending a year in each other’s homes. Healing must be generational.

Closing Words

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
When Cain and Abel fought, it brought sorrow to Heaven. But when brothers reconcile, the angels sing. Let today be the beginning of a new language—not of tanks, but of truth; not of hatred, but of healing. If Russia and Ukraine become brothers again, they will not just survive—they will save the world.

Topic 2: The Great Reconstruction Deal — A Shared Economic Vision for Postwar Renewal

Participants:

• Rev. Sun Myung Moon (Moderator)
• Elon Musk
• Ray Dalio
• Xi Jinping
• Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
• Volodymyr Zelensky
• Vladimir Putin

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
Peace that is not followed by prosperity will wither. True reconciliation must give birth to co-creation—not just treaties, but roads, schools, factories, and homes. The former enemies must become co-builders. Today, I ask you all:

If peace were signed tomorrow, what would your first step be to ensure both nations benefit economically—without either side feeling exploited?

Musk:
Easy. We set up a joint innovation corridor—a tech zone that spans eastern Ukraine and western Russia. We build gigafactories, launch satellites, restore power grids. People don’t shoot when they’re busy building rockets and fixing infrastructure.

Erdoğan:
First step: guarantee cross-border trade and grain exports. The breadbasket of Europe must feed again. If we stabilize food and energy flows, trust will follow. And Turkey will help ensure it.

Putin:
Russia cannot be treated like a beggar, nor as a loser. I propose a Sovereign Partnership Agreement—a legally equal framework for infrastructure co-investment and regional stabilization. We do not rebuild under conditions of guilt—we rebuild under conditions of respect.

Xi:
The Belt and Road can include Ukraine—this is not zero-sum. I offer infrastructure finance packages that include Chinese engineers working alongside Ukrainian and Russian teams. Not domination. Cooperation. Harmony brings stability. Stability brings wealth.

Dalio:
We set up a Reconciliation Investment Fund, open to global capital but governed locally by both nations. Think of it like a “postwar Marshall Plan,” but this time, both sides are shareholders. The return? Stability, access to Eurasian markets, and lower global risk.

Zelensky:
I want factories, yes. But I also want homes rebuilt, schools reopened, and trust restored. First step? We rehire the workers—displaced Ukrainians, but also those in Russian regions hit by sanctions. We make the worker the hero now, not the soldier.

Rev. Moon follows up:

Thank you. Next:

What’s the most radical—but realistic—economic idea you would personally endorse to make peace irresistible?

Dalio:
Debt forgiveness for select Ukrainian regions and energy profit-sharing agreements with Russia. Pain was shared—so profits must be, too. That creates emotional fairness.Elon Musk

Musk:
Let’s do a postwar blockchain-based currency—backed by peace itself. One coin, co-issued by Ukraine and Russia, used only for rebuilding. You’d be amazed how fast people cooperate when they mine value from peace instead of war.

Xi:
I propose the Neutral Infrastructure Authority (NIA)—an international board made up of China, Turkey, Germany, and the U.N., overseeing projects in both countries. It builds credibility and ensures fair work distribution.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan

Erdoğan:
I support a demilitarized trade route, guaranteed by all sides. From Odesa to Rostov, a zone of cranes, not tanks. Soldiers protect shipments—not borders. That would change minds and lives.

Zelensky:
We let local councils in both countries vote on joint projects. Imagine Russians and Ukrainians choosing to build something together—by democracy, not decree. That’s radical peace.

Putin:
I would allow the creation of a Russo-Ukrainian Science & Culture Fund—symbolic, but funded by oil revenues. Not propaganda. Just physics, music, art. We remind the world that our people once built Mir together. Let’s build again.

Final question from Rev. Moon:

What would you say to a young person—Ukrainian or Russian—who believes the only future is more war?

Xi:
I would say: “You have survived a storm. Now build the lighthouse.” We will invest in your future if you choose peace. We will not forget you.

Zelensky:
I would say: “This war has stolen enough. Don’t let it steal your heart.” You can be more than a fighter. You can be a founder.

Dalio:
Markets punish fear—but they reward hope. You will grow faster than any generation if you choose peace now. You have leverage. Use it.

Erdoğan:
War writes your story in blood. Peace lets you write it in stone. Which legacy do you want?

Musk:
I’d say: “War is analog. Peace is exponential.” Build something. Anything. Start now. Even a drone for farming. You’ll be surprised how fast your life takes off.

Putin:
Even your enemies are tired. We grew up watching the same cartoons, reading the same writers. Do not inherit our anger. Inherit only the love of your land.

Closing Words

Rev. Moon:
Where there is no vision, the people perish. But where there is a shared vision of prosperity, enemies become neighbors, and neighbors become brothers. May this be the blueprint—not just for rebuilding nations, but for reawakening the human spirit.

Topic 3: Neutrality with Dignity — Can We Guarantee Security Without Humiliation?

Participants:

• Rev. Sun Myung Moon (Moderator)
• Donald Trump
• Angela Merkel
• António Guterres
• Xi Jinping
• Vladimir Putin
• Volodymyr Zelensky

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
A lasting peace cannot be built on the ashes of someone else’s pride. If one side feels humiliated, peace will not survive. True neutrality, like true love, protects both sides equally. So let me ask you this:

What would neutrality look like—not just in policy, but in spirit—for both Ukraine and Russia to walk away without shame?

Trump:
Neutrality is not weakness. It’s leverage. You don’t need to win the whole board—just hold your position. My proposal? NATO agrees to a pause on eastern expansion, but Russia agrees to permanent non-aggression. That’s balance. That’s business sense.

Guterres:
Neutrality must be formal, not symbolic. I propose a U.N.-guaranteed demilitarized zone, monitored in real time. Ukraine keeps sovereignty. Russia keeps security. No one wins alone—but everyone wins stability.

Xi:
China supports neutrality if it includes non-interference and economic respect. No sanctions. No ideological imposition. Both sides must feel they are sovereign, not servants.

Merkel:
Neutrality is not absence—it is presence without provocation. We must build a peace infrastructure—not just paper treaties, but shared energy lines, cultural exchanges, and joint intelligence oversight. These are ties that bind quietly.

Zelensky:
To us, neutrality felt like abandonment—like being the ground others walked on. But if neutrality comes with iron guarantees, access to Europe, and dignity—we will walk that path.

Putin:
Russia will not accept a neutrality that means retreat. But we will accept one that means respect. No missiles at our border. No NATO lectures. But we can allow a sovereign Ukraine—if it does not become a spear pointed at us.

Rev. Moon follows up:

What kind of international mechanism would you trust to enforce this neutrality—so that both nations feel safe and respected long-term?

Guterres:
The U.N. must lead, but with partners. I propose a Neutrality Compact, co-signed by China, Türkiye, Germany, and the U.S.—each pledging to uphold and verify the terms. Not one-sided pressure, but global guardianship.

Trump:
Let’s be honest: the U.N. doesn’t scare anyone. But if I personally broker a deal with Putin and Zelensky—with real teeth, real money, and a handshake—it sticks. You need credible power, not paper.

Merkel:
Europe must be involved—not just militarily, but economically. We tie reconstruction funds to adherence. Break the deal, and the money stops. No missiles, no manipulation, no misunderstanding.

Xi:
China will guarantee the peace corridor if it is respected by all. We offer logistics, monitoring satellites, and rail diplomacy. Stability is our interest too. Let us be the silent referee.

Zelensky:
I trust only what is visible. Cameras. Contracts. Consequences. I propose a joint Russian-Ukrainian Peace Council with rotating neutral members. Let our people watch it live. Transparency is our shield now.

Putin:
Security cannot be outsourced. But I would trust a system where no side holds veto power alone. Peace must be built like a triangle—not a chain. Strong, stable, impossible to tip.

Final question from Rev. Moon:

What symbolic act could seal this agreement—not just legally, but emotionally—for the world to believe peace is real?

Trump:
I’ll say this: the world needs a show. We do it at the Kyiv-Putin Border, whatever line that is. Three leaders. Three pens. One flag raised—half Ukrainian, half Russian, split down the middle, waving over a new trade zone. Broadcast it everywhere.

Merkel:
I suggest planting a Peace Forest where the fighting was fiercest. One tree per life lost—planted by mothers from both nations. Nothing grows trust like roots.

Guterres:
We gather 100 children—Ukrainian and Russian—each one holds a stone from a ruined building. Together, they rebuild one new school. That is our future writing its own story.

Zelensky:
I would cross the bridge into Russia myself. No armor. Just a prayer, and the hand of a Russian soldier who’s ready to stop fighting.

Xi:
I offer to host the Eurasian Reconciliation Summit in Beijing—a new platform where peace is not Western or Eastern, but human. This must be a civilizational shift, not a temporary silence.

Putin:
I would invite Zelensky to Moscow—not for cameras, but for dinner. Our wives speak first. Our children sit together. Let the world see: when the family eats, the war ends.

Closing Words

Rev. Moon:
True neutrality does not mean cold distance—it means warm balance. Just as the body is neutral between left and right so it can walk, so must the nations balance strength and humility to move forward. May this peace be not imposed—but chosen, embraced, and celebrated.

Topic 4: The People’s Voice — Healing Divided Hearts through Culture, Faith, and Family

Participants:

• Rev. Sun Myung Moon (Moderator)
• Pope Francis
• Dalai Lama
• Muhammad Yunus
• Jordan Peterson
• Volodymyr Zelensky
• Yulia Tymoshenko (symbolic representative of Ukraine’s cultural and emotional memory)

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
No peace lasts if hearts remain broken. Political treaties may end wars, but only love, forgiveness, and shared humanity can end hatred. Today, I invite you to speak not as leaders, but as parents, children, and citizens of God’s family.

Let us begin with this:

What is one thing either Ukraine or Russia must do—not with politics, but with heart—to begin the healing process between their people?

Dalai Lama:
We must first listen to sorrow. Not to reply, not to defend, but to understand. I suggest a national grief day in both countries—where tears are honored, not suppressed. Healing starts with allowing pain to breathe.

Pope Francis:
Forgiveness is a seed. If we plant it in schools and churches, it will grow in homes. Russia and Ukraine should organize pilgrimages of reconciliation—students, priests, and grandmothers walking into each other’s villages to pray and weep together. That is mercy in motion.

Zelensky:
We must give our people permission to stop hating. I would invite Russian writers and poets who opposed the war to read their words on Ukrainian television. Let us hear their sorrow, not their government’s slogans.

Yunus:
Create small, shared businesses. In border towns, Russians and Ukrainians co-own bakeries, farms, or IT labs. Money earned together dissolves fear. Every paycheck becomes a handshake.

Peterson:
I’d start with storytelling across generations. Bring veterans and orphans into one room and let them speak—not about politics, but about love, loss, hope. Shame dies when stories are shared. A healed person becomes a healing force.

Tymoshenko:
We must sing again. Our folk songs—Ukrainian and Russian—once told of love, of seasons, of God. I propose a cross-national cultural tour where music and memory guide us back to each other. We are not enemies in song.

Rev. Moon follows up:

Thank you. Let us go deeper.

What part of your own country’s soul must be softened or humbled for this healing to work?

Peterson:
Our pride. Especially male pride. We must let go of the belief that to change course is to admit defeat. No. To reconcile is to demonstrate mastery of your spirit.

Dalai Lama:
We must release the idea that only our suffering is real. Suffering does not wear uniforms. It is universal. That understanding is the birthplace of compassion.

Pope Francis:
We must abandon the myth of righteous vengeance. God calls us to justice, yes—but justice without mercy becomes a mirror of violence. Ukraine, Russia—we must soften our tongues and bless our enemies.

Zelensky:
We must let go of bitterness. It keeps our wounds open. I’m not asking anyone to forget. But if we do not find some humility, we will pass hatred to our children like an inheritance.

Yunus:
The soul of a nation grows when it stops measuring success by borders and starts measuring by human potential. Russia, Ukraine—both must choose people over pride.

Tymoshenko:
We must humble our national myths. Neither country is all saint or all sinner. Our stories must reflect truth—and truth includes failure, regret, and the power to change.

Final question from Rev. Moon:

What gesture—symbolic or real—can bring ordinary people together across the border tomorrow?

Pope Francis:
I would organize a Children’s Mass—broadcast from Kyiv and Moscow at the same hour. No politics. Only children reading scripture and lighting candles for peace. The world would weep. So would Heaven.

Yunus:
Launch a People’s Microloan Network—where a Ukrainian farmer funds a Russian grandmother’s cheese shop, and vice versa. This is not aid. It is partnership.

Zelensky:
Open the trains. Let our people travel freely once more. Let them visit their cousins, their graves, their memories. Peace doesn’t start on paper—it starts at the station.

Dalai Lama:
Ask every school in both countries to have a "Peace Sister School" across the border. Children will not hate the classmates they grow up writing letters to.

Peterson:
Create a Peace Archive—a digital space where soldiers, mothers, teachers upload messages to their counterparts across the border. Start with just one story. Multiply it.

Tymoshenko:
I would stage a shared cultural festival on the border. No speeches. Just food, dance, art. Let people forget fear for one weekend. Let joy become our bridge.

Closing Words

Rev. Moon:
The heart knows no border. If we teach our children to fear each other, we create another war in 20 years. But if we teach them to sing each other’s songs, to grieve each other’s pain, and to eat at each other’s tables—then we will have ended not only this war, but all war.

Topic 5: The Global Peace Dividend — What Happens If This Ends Now?

Participants:

• Rev. Sun Myung Moon (Moderator)
• Elon Musk
• Ray Dalio
• Donald Trump
• António Guterres
• Vladimir Putin
• Volodymyr Zelensky

Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
War does not only steal lives—it delays dreams. While missiles fly, innovation sleeps. While hatred simmers, progress stalls. But if peace were declared today, what might be unleashed tomorrow?

Let me ask this:

What is one specific global benefit that could be unlocked immediately if this war ends—something that would uplift not just Russia and Ukraine, but the entire world?

Dalio:
Global markets would stabilize within days. Energy prices would drop, inflation would cool, and investor confidence would surge—especially in Europe and Asia. This war is a stress fracture in the global system. End it, and we begin to heal financially, fast.

Musk:
Resources could be redirected from destruction to creation—AI, Mars exploration, clean energy. I’d repurpose weapons manufacturing hubs to build energy storage and transportation tech. The peace dividend is exponential, not linear.

Guterres:
We’d see a surge in global cooperation on climate resilience, hunger, and migration. This war has distracted every major body—UN, NATO, even the EU—from existential crises. Peace would let us pivot back to saving the planet.

Trump:
The U.S. could cut military aid, Europe could stop panic-spending, and we’d all stop hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars. I’d use that money to rebuild cities and cut deals—real business. Peace is the best investment.

Zelensky:
Our people would return home. That alone is a miracle. Families would reunite. The economy would wake up. But more than that—we would become a symbol to the world: that even bloodshed can lead to rebirth.

Putin:
Sanctions would lift. Normal trade would resume. And Russia, instead of being feared, could return to being respected. We have engineers, scientists, artists waiting to contribute again. Let them.

Rev. Moon follows up:

Thank you. But peace alone is not enough—it must ripple outward.

How can the end of this war become a blueprint for other global conflicts—so peace here sets off peace elsewhere?

Trump:
We document every deal, every handshake, every success. Then we show it to the world. “Here’s how we ended the worst war of the decade—and everyone came out stronger.” Make it the new template. Peace sells if it works.

Guterres:
The process is the product. We create a UN Peace Innovation Lab based on this summit—where tech leaders, spiritual leaders, and negotiators combine forces. If it works here, we scale it: Yemen, Sudan, Korea.

Dalio:
We design shared prosperity models—funds, trade corridors, public-private rebuilding ventures. Other conflict zones can mimic them. When peace is profitable, peace becomes viral.

Musk:
Broadcast everything. Build open-source diplomacy platforms—let ordinary people participate, submit ideas, monitor outcomes. Decentralize peace. Make it a movement, not a memo.

Putin:
If we walk away with dignity and development—not shame—other nations will see that peace is not surrender. It is strategy. Let this be the model of strength through agreement.

Zelensky:
Yes. If Ukraine and Russia can walk away from the brink together, then no conflict is hopeless. Let us be the proof that even enemies can become co-authors of a future chapter.

Final question from Rev. Moon:

What is your personal message to the world, if peace is declared today?

Musk:
I’d say: “Now we build.” We’ve wasted enough time fighting over rocks and maps. Let’s terraform Earth before we colonize Mars.

Guterres:
To the world: “We are capable of choosing life over fear.” Let this be the moment history bends back toward hope.

Dalio:
To investors, leaders, and citizens: “The greatest yield now is in peace. Invest in it.”

Trump:
I’d say: “Told you we could make a deal.” But seriously—let’s show the world how strong men create peace, not just conflict. That’s the ultimate power move.

Putin:
“Russia is ready to lead again—not through war, but through wisdom.” Let that be the new strength.

Zelensky:
“I’ve seen death. I’ve seen miracles. Today, I see a future.” That’s what I’ll tell every Ukrainian. And I’ll whisper it to every Russian who’s lost someone too.

Closing Words

Rev. Moon:
The greatest victory is the peace that inspires more peace. If Ukraine and Russia can walk through the fire and come out not burned, but forged, then they will be the light the world follows home. Let this peace not be the end of war—but the beginning of something divine.

Final Thoughts by Rev. Sun Myung Moon

My friends, today we have not ended a war. We have begun something greater: a new definition of victory, forged not by force but by faith.

We saw leaders speak not from their thrones, but from their hearts. We saw economists propose prosperity not for one, but for all. We saw wounded nations begin to imagine themselves not as adversaries—but as co-builders, as family.

Let this not be a summit that fades into memory, but one that marks a new spiritual age.

Let this be the moment when soldiers became teachers, when missiles became bridges, when tears became seeds of joy.

The peace between Russia and Ukraine, if born today, will echo across centuries. It will remind the world that healing is not weakness. It is the greatest power of all.

Now go forth—not to dominate, but to embrace. Not to conquer, but to co-create.

The true victory... is unity.
