We need to think about a backup plan: what Ukraine can expect from the Munich Conference

The Munich Security Conference will take place in February. Ukraine will discuss three important issues there.

About this 24 Channel said political scientist Igor Reiterovich, noting that the Munich Security Conference and Ukraine’s participation there is a very important story for us. Vladimir Zelensky will most likely work in three areas there.

What to expect from the Munich Conference

As Reiterovich noted, it is obvious that Vladimir Zelensky will meet with the leaders of allied countries. We can expect that at the same time they will announce the signing of further security commitments with Germany and France. At the very least, this would be a very symbolic and correct step just in time for the second anniversary of the start of a full-scale war.

In addition, Zelensky will discuss current important issues with politicians. After all, in many countries it is politicians who make the final military decisions. For example, as with Taurus cruise missiles. The final decision on the transfer can only be made by Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The third point. They may begin to negotiate with the leaders of other countries on additional financial assistance, which will be beyond what the EU allocates. It is unknown how the situation with the United States will be resolved. Therefore, you need to think about a backup plan that will help minimize the negative consequences. We will also be able to remind you from the rostrum that for now Russia is fighting exclusively with Ukraine. But the war can reach Europe, said Reiterovich.
