Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed doubts about the existence of a “clear US plan” to end the war in Ukraine as he attended the Munich Security Conference.
Former US President Donald Trump announced that US, Russian, and Ukrainian officials would meet in Munich, though Moscow has denied sending any delegation to the summit.
In a separate interview with The Wall Street Journal, US Senator Vance warned that Moscow could face sanctions and potential military action if President Vladimir Putin refuses to agree to a peace deal ensuring Ukraine’s long-term independence.
NATO allies are still processing Trump’s unexpected statement that he and Putin had agreed over a phone call to initiate peace talks to end the war.
Zelensky emphasized that any agreement must involve Ukraine’s participation.
