Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with US Vice President JD Vance during the Munich Security Conference, Reuters reports.
Information about this appeared after Donald Trump announced the day before that on the margins of the conference today will allegedly begin negotiations with the participation of representatives of Russia and Ukraine.
At the same time, the chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, said that no Russian representative was accredited at the conference.
Zelensky is expected to meet with Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio today.
Reuters notes that the phone conversation between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has raised concerns in Europe because the dialog could exclude Ukraine and the EU from the conflict resolution process – such talks could be too favorable to Russia and would undermine Europe’s security.
J.D. Vance openly criticized U.S. support for Ukraine during his 2024 presidential campaign, and a year ago at the Munich conference said that U.S. strategic priorities are more in Asia and the Middle East.
