New Delhi:
US Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Voldimia Zelensky demonstrate the urgent need for a peace agreement with Russia as the war between Ukraine and Moscow approaches its third year mark.
At the Munich Security Conference, which began on February 14th, Vance reaffirmed his efforts to ensure “lasting peace” in Washington. “We want to achieve durable and lasting peace, not the kind of peace that Eastern Europe would fall into conflict in a few years,” Vance said when his meeting with Zelensky ended. Ta.
Vance said he had previously announced his ceasefire efforts with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he would “see for days” on how peace could be achieved even if President Donald Trump previously shocked him. , for weeks, months, days, months, more consultations have been pledged to be held over the next few months.
Zelensky also struggled to ensure the US stayed on its side, saying that his meeting with Vance “is not our first meeting, not our last.” “We are ready to move towards authentic peace as quickly as possible,” Zelensky later wrote in X, adding that the Washington envoy would visit Kiev.
In a clip from an interview with NBC, Zelensky said “it’s unlikely to survive without US support.” He had previously said that Trump was terrified of Kiev cutting, and that the US president gave him his personal number when they spoke.
The meeting comes as the Ukrainian Air Force said on Friday that Russia launched 133 drones overnight, including attack drones targeting the northern regions of the country where the Chernobyl nuclear power plant resides. Zelensky said the attack was evidence that “President Putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations – he is preparing to deceive the world.”
Russia said the accusations were “provocations” by Kiev to intimidate the West in order to give more assistance.
There is no fear for Ukraine that the US might rule it out in the cold after Trump announced its initial call with Putin. Meanwhile, Vance told the Wall Street Journal that Trump would put everything in potential consultations “at the table” and that Washington could even use “military leverage” to force deals.
The 61st Munich Security Conference will continue until February 16th, bringing together policymakers and experts to bring Trump to power in the second term, the new European Commission and the upcoming German elections. We will discuss global security challenges at the time.
The three-day event brings together approximately 60 state and government heads, 150 ministers and leaders from major international organizations.
