Ukraine’s future is the focus of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), just days after a shock phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in which they agreed to begin negotiations to end the Ukraine war.
Describing the call earlier this week as “great”, Trump said there was a “good possibility of ending that horrible, very bloody war”.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that his country must not be left out of any peace talks.
European allies seemed surprised at the nature of the call, with French President Emmanuel Macron warning that any peace agreement which involved capitulating to Russia would end “badly for everyone”.
It is still unclear when peace negotiations could begin, but when they do issues around territory, security negotiations and Ukraine’s future in Nato will be among the key topics for discussion. Here’s where the different sides stand.
