Zelenskyy to spearhead Ukraine's peace strategy at security conference

The delegation aims to present Ukraine's position on ending the war and achieving a lasting and durable peace, and hopes to discuss security guarantees during the conference.

"It is necessary that the leaders and the political experts who will be in Munich realize that this is momentum," he said.

"That we are very close to really ending this war through a just and lasting peace, but (it is) necessary to be together... not to give Russia an opportunity to divide the world, to divide partners."

U.S. Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend a high-level summit focusing on artificial intelligence in Paris on Feb. 10-11 and the Munich Security Conference in Germany, where he will be joined by newly appointed U.S. envoy to Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg after the Kyiv visit.

On Feb. 1, Kellogg said that Trump allegedly has a "reliable plan" to end Russia's war against Ukraine and initiate peace talks. The approach will seemingly involve putting pressure on both Kyiv and Moscow, compelling the parties to make compromises and agree to a ceasefire. The plan may include freezing the war, leaving the occupied territories in a "suspended state," and providing security guarantees to Ukraine.
