Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses the Munich Security Conference, emphasizing the need for continued US and European support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. US Vice President JD Vance, meanwhile, meets with Zelenskyy and other European leaders, sparking hope for insights into President Trump's stance on a negotiated settlement following a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Vance's speech focuses on free speech and illegal migration, while also touching upon the administration's aim for a 'reasonable settlement' between Russia and Ukraine.
MUNICH — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is calling for the United States and Europe to band together to support Ukraine in the war against Russia.U.S. President Donald Trump this week upended years of steadfast U.S. support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy is expected to meet with U.S. Vice President JD Vance later.
Vance's speech, and his passing mention of the 3-year-old Russia-Ukraine conflict, came at a time of intense concern and uncertainty over the Trump administration’s foreign policy. “We want to make sure that NATO is actually built for the future, and we think a big part of that is ensuring that NATO does a little bit more burden sharing in Europe, so the United States can focus on some of our challenges in East Asia,” Vance told Rutte.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was expected to join Vance and Zelenskyy. He was delayed when his Air Force plane had to return to Washington after developing a mechanical problem en route to Munich. He took a different aircraft and was expected to arrive in time for the meeting. Both Trump and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week undercut Ukraine’s hopes of becoming part of NATO, which the alliance said less than a year ago was “irreversible,” or of getting back its territory captured by Russia, which currently occupies close to 20% including Crimea.
