The Munich Security Conference is starting in Germany. About 60 heads of state and 150 ministers will participate in the summit, which will last until February 16 and will be dedicated to defense and security issues.

The main topic of the 2025 conference is the Russia-Ukraine war and the possibility of holding peace talks between the parties. Participants will also discuss the situation in the Middle East and Syria.

The main participants of the conference are US Vice President Jay Dee Vance, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The delegations are also expected to hold talks. The meeting between Zelensky and Vance is scheduled for February 14.

President Donald Trump also announced that representatives of the United States, Russia and Ukraine will hold talks on the sidelines of the Munich conference. According to the summit organizers, Russian officials are not attending the event.

In addition, the conference will be attended by Trump's special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, who has been traveling around Europe. According to the US State Department, his mission during these trips is "to promote President Trump's strong support for peace in Ukraine and to advance US national security interests." Kellogg is expected to meet with Washington's European allies.

A few days before the forum, US President Donald Trump announced that he had agreed to start talks to end the war in a phone call with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. This has raised concerns among Washington and Kiev's European allies that their position on establishing peace in Ukraine may not be taken into account. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
