United States Vice President JD Vance is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the upcoming Munich Security Conference, where Zelenskyy will lead Ukraine’s delegation. The conference, which begins on February 14, will also include Vance among the attendees.
This meeting comes shortly after former President Trump mentioned to reporters that he “may meet” with Zelenskyy in Washington, D.C., in the near future. “I will probably meet with President Zelenskyy next week, and I will probably also be talking to President Putin,” Trump said. “I’d like to see that war end.”
Although a meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy has not been formally scheduled, it is evident that Trump has expressed a strong desire to mediate an end to the ongoing conflict. A Ukrainian delegation also met with Ukraine-Russia envoy Gen. Keith Kellogg at the State Department last week, further signalling Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to engage diplomatically.
Trump has long voiced his commitment to ending the war, which began when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Recently, Trump suggested that any future military aid to Ukraine could depend on Ukraine providing guarantees regarding its rare minerals, saying, “We want a guarantee. So, we’re looking to make a deal with Ukraine where they’ll secure what we’re giving them with their rare earth and other resources.”
The growing diplomatic interactions surrounding the Ukraine conflict show a significant push for dialogue, with both current and former U.S. leaders expressing a clear interest in finding a resolution to the war. The upcoming meetings at the Munich Security Conference and potential future discussions with President Trump highlight the continued efforts to broker peace and stability in the region.
