The War in Ukraine has been a longstanding conflict that has caused immense suffering and devastation for the Ukrainian people. With Donald Trump promising to end the war, many are questioning whether this is a genuine commitment or just empty talk. The upcoming Munich Security Conference this weekend is set to provide some insight into the future of the conflict.
Trump’s Vice President, JD Vance, will be in attendance at the conference, along with a top diplomatic team, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and various European leaders. DW’s Richard Walker had the opportunity to speak with the Chair of the MSC, Christoph Heusgen, to discuss what can be expected from the conference.
There are key questions that remain unanswered – will Trump go soft on Russia or increase pressure? What concessions is Ukraine willing to make in order to secure peace? And what role must European leaders play in finding a resolution to the conflict?
The conference is expected to delve into various topics such as the Kremlin’s nervousness, Trump’s stance on the conflict, ongoing negotiations, the role of NATO, the possibility of peacekeepers, and whether there is an excessive focus on the West in resolving the conflict.
As the world watches and waits for the outcome of the Munich Security Conference, hopes are high that progress can be made towards bringing an end to the War in Ukraine. The stakes are high, and the decisions made at the conference could have far-reaching consequences for the region.
