Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian and US teams are working on arranging a meeting between Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump, according to Ukrainian media outlet Unian, cited by Reuters. 

  • According to Unian, top Trump administration officials will visit Ukraine this week and Zelenskyy intends to meet with US Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference, which kicks off on Friday, February 14. Vance is currently on his first trip abroad since taking office. He will speak at an Artificial Intelligence summit in Paris this evening.
  • Ukrainian and Russian spokespeople have managed expectations that any armistice talks can be initiated without significant concessions on security guarantee from the other side, lowering optimism that a breakthrough can be reached in Munich.
  • The conference will proceed without any representation from Russia, echoing the June 2024 'Summit on Peace in Ukraine', which failed to move the conflict closer to a resolution.  
  • The Financial Times reports that, according to a leaked internal Russian presentation from Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin last April, the Kremlin recognises that, "Western sanctions pressure, as well as economic overtures, had succeeded in driving a wedge between Moscow and some of its nearest trade partners."
