  • UKRAINE (MNI) – The future of Ukraine will be the main topic of focus at the Munich Security Conference, getting underway today. Sideline talks between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US Vice President Vance will be closely watched, with the Zelenskyy administration making clear on 13 Feb that it would not accept any peace deal that it was not involved in negotiating.
  • US / RUSSIA (WSJ) – Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that the US would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Russian President Putin won’t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv’s long-term independence. Vance said the option of sending US troops to Ukraine if Moscow failed to negotiate in good faith remained “on the table,”.
  • US / RUSSIA / CHINA (BBG) – President Trump floated the idea of a three-way meeting with the leaders of Russia and China in which the countries would agree to cut defence spending in half. Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Thursday, suggested repeatedly that he’d seek such a deal with Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, saying the money could be spent better elsewhere.
