The Ukrainian delegation does not plan to hold a hypothetical meeting with the Russians in Munich.

As reported by UNIAN correspondent, this was stated by Ukrainian President's advisor Dmitry Litvin to journalists. He emphasized that Ukraine must first engage in discussions with the United States.

"The Ukrainian position remains unchanged. Ukraine must first talk to America. Europe should be a participant in any serious dialogue aimed at achieving real and lasting peace. Only a coordinated common position should be on the table for discussions with the Russians. There are no meetings at an empty table with the Russians. Currently, there is nothing on the table. A conversation with the Russians in Munich is not anticipated," Litvin said.

What preceded this

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a meeting involving representatives from the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia will take place on February 14 in Munich.

"Russia will be there with our people. Ukraine is also invited," Trump stated.

It is known that a security conference will be held in Munich from February 14 to 16. Ukrainian authorities have not reported any meetings with Russian representatives. It is only known that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance are expected to meet on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
