Andriy Yermak, the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, said on Sunday, February 16, during negotiations with the US delegation at the Munich Security Conference (MSC), that Kiev had “clearly defined the red lines of its interests.” According to Yermak, the events that took place at the conference “may indicate the development of a plan to end the war.”

“I had a really meaningful conversation with US Vice President J.D. Vance and US President’s Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg. The conversation on the agreement on rare earths was full of specifics, but it still takes time and ideas to revise it,” Yermak wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Ukrainian politician also noted that “at every meeting, at every dialogue” within the framework of the MSC, Kiev defended the position that there could be no “European security dialogue” without Ukraine and the EU. Yermak also reminded that any agreement on ending the war without Kiev’s participation would be unacceptable.

The head of the Ukrainian presidential administration also spoke about his meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. During the conversation, Yermak reminded him of the recent attack on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. “Moscow is posing a nuclear threat to the world,” Yermak said.
